About this collection
This isn't just a performance you watch from your seat. Every session starts with 15 minutes of guided breathwork and vocal chanting to ground the room, followed by immersive soundscapes that use reverb and delay pedals to help you reach a deeper, meditative trance state.
My concerts are built on a simple premise: Indian classical music has the power to heal if you meet it halfway. Whether I am performing for a corporate wellness retreat or a private gala, the focus remains on the 'Sitar for Mental Health' flow.
The Experience
Each set is custom-built, blending solo Alap, Jod, and Jhala with modern ambient textures. I use a personal pedalboard setup—specifically Strymon and Eventide units—to create those ethereal soundscapes that people often associate with electronic music but produced through a traditional Rikhi Ram instrument. It is about creating a sanctuary, regardless of the venue.
Why This Works for Events
- Corporate Wellness: Instead of generic background music, this is an interactive session. We include breathwork and a community circle where guests can ask questions about the music or their own mental wellness journey.
- Luxury Gatherings: For weddings or high-end parties, I shift the vibe to a mix of classical ragas and Lofi Bollywood covers. It provides an 'Old Money' aesthetic that feels sophisticated but remains approachable.
- Full Production: My team handles the technical rider. We can scale from a solo acoustic performance to a full band concert with tabla, drums, and synthesizers, complete with lighting and stage design optimized for social media capture.
I come from a legacy of master instrument makers, and I have taken that craft to stages like NJPAC and stadiums in Delhi. Let's create a space that actually helps your guests breathe a little easier.
