Authentic Hindustani Classical Performances in Bengaluru
I bring the depth and tradition of Hindustani classical music to your events. Whether it is an intimate baithak or a concert, I perform with my team of musicians to create a meaningful, soulful experience.
Performing Raag Kamod in a traditional concert setting. The interplay between the vocals, tabla, and harmonium is what makes Hindustani khayal singing such a profound experience.
A clip from a Guru Poornima baithak, where I had the honour of presenting Raag Malkauns. Singing in such an intimate setting for my guru and fellow music lovers is a truly blessed experience.
Another moment from my Raag Bilaskhani Todi performance at Sapthak, Bangalore. You can see the joy and concentration of my accompanying artists on tabla and harmonium.

About Hindustani Classical Performances
For these performances, I do not perform solo. I bring a team of professional instrumentalists covering tabla, harmonium, and tanpura support. We follow a traditional structure starting with a slow Bada Khayal, moving into a faster tempo, and finishing with a lighter piece. This setup requires a seated stage area and audio gear like three microphones and two monitors to get that authentic acoustic balance.
When you book me for a Hindustani classical recital, you are booking a full ensemble experience. I believe that classical music requires the right setting to breathe, whether that is an intimate house baithak or a larger temple hall.
My standard performance follows a journey of 90 to 120 minutes. We start with the Bada Khayal to set the mood, transition into the faster Chhota Khayal, and usually conclude with a Tarana or a devotional piece. This is a seated performance, and the audience is usually expected to listen in a quiet, attentive environment to fully appreciate the intricacies of the raag.
Regarding production, I keep it simple but precise. I require a standard stage setup with three microphones on stands and two monitor wedges. We will need about 45 minutes before the event to complete a sound check to ensure the balance between my vocals and the instruments is perfect.
If you are planning a smaller gathering or a specific cultural evening, let me know. I am based in Bengaluru but happy to travel across Karnataka for concerts and private recitals.
