About Spiritual & Devotional Compositions
When you commission a devotional track, the first step is deciding on the specific emotional tone—are we aiming for the high energy of a Shiva Tandav or the gentle calm of a Ganesha bhajan? I handle the full arrangement from there, including live tracking of sitar, tabla, and bansuri, so you don't have to worry about finding session musicians or managing separate studio logistics.
My approach to devotional music is rooted in the tradition I learned from my Guru, Pandit Ravi Shankar, and the legacy of my family, the Rikhiram instrument makers. I believe that sound carries energy, and when we create a bhajan or a meditative piece, it should serve as a space for true presence.
The Process
Whether you need a powerful Shiva Tandav Stotram for a cinematic project or a soft, grounding piece for an intimate event, I guide the project from start to finish. I work with a dedicated team of musicians to record live instruments—bansuri, shehnai, and tabla—ensuring the textures feel organic and sacred rather than synthesized.
For Ceremonies and Films
If you are looking for music for a brand campaign, a yoga session, or a spiritual film, we can score it specifically to your narrative. I provide bespoke orchestral arrangements or simple, vocal-led tracks that focus on the mantra. We work in 5-7 day cycles for basic stems, or longer for full orchestral scores, ensuring you have total creative control over the final energy of the piece.
Technical Standards
Every track is delivered in high-res 48kHz/24-bit WAV format, mixed to professional broadcast standards so it sounds as clear on your phone as it does in a theater. We record using industry-standard gear, and my focus is on maintaining the purity of the raga while ensuring the production fits your final media format.
Rishab Rikhiram Sharma
I’m Rishab, and I treat the sitar as a bridge to something deeper. I’ve grown up with the tradition of the Rikhiram family, and my music is an extension of that lineage. Whether it’s a high-energy bhajan or a quiet meditative piece, I work to make sure the sound feels as real as the emotion behind it.
