Professional Sitar Performances and Training in Delhi

It brings me immense joy to hear directly from my students. In this video, they share their personal experiences learning the sitar with me, discussing their progress, the focus on fundamentals, and the supportive community we are building together at the academia.

Namaskar. I wanted to speak with you directly about the profound benefits of learning a new skill like the sitar. It is a journey that enhances concentration, brings a sense of calm, and can truly change the way you see life. I hope you will consider joining us at The Pink Lotus Academia.

To make learning accessible to everyone, I offer hybrid sitar classes. This video shows how students can join either in-person at my studio in Delhi for a hands-on experience or connect online from anywhere in the world, without compromising on the quality of instruction.

A moment that still feels like a dream. I had the profound honor of meeting and receiving blessings from the God of music, Ustad Zakir Hussain, after one of our shows in New York. His presence and encouragement are the greatest validation an artist could ask for.

Music is a form of sadhana, a daily discipline. Here is a short clip from a recent rendition of Raag Vachaspati, recorded at my studio. I hope this small offering of music brings a moment of peace and joy to your day.

Many people ask what my intensive workshops cover. In this video, I explain the key takeaways, including specific exercises for right and left-hand coordination, improvisation techniques within a raag, and how to structure your own riyaz or practice sessions for meaningful growth.

I am grateful to Prabhat Khabar for this feature, which acknowledges my family's lifelong dedication to Indian classical music. This recognition of our passion for the sitar and our efforts to preserve this cultural heritage is a true honor.
