Event Description

As the evening light softens into shadow, the sitar unfurls its timeless voice, weaving threads of melody that belong to centuries yet remain alive in the present. Rooted in the profound tradition of the Senia Sahajanpur Gharana, the recital offers more than performance, it is a quiet dialogue between raga and time, silence and resonance.

Through the meditative unfolding of alaap and jor, and the rhythmic journeys across varied taals, the listener is invited into an intimate space where sound becomes memory, discipline meets improvisation, and the night itself seems to hum with the strings’ gentle, unending song.
