SANMAARGA's core inspiration is the grandeur and diversity of Indian music, arts and culture, from its panoramic musical heritage to its ancient and modern languages and philosophies. SANMAARGA explores the aesthetic possibilities of melding the rich and varied languages of Indian – including Sanskrit, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Rajastani, Punjabi, Bengali and a few dialects – with enchanting melodies rendered with care and love. These melodies are drawn from Indian traditional and tribal tunes, Hindi Bhajans and Tumris, Hindustani, Khayal or Ghazel, as well as from Western pop, folk, jazz, etc. The lyrics are woven with the silken thread of Indian philosophy, from the Vedas onwards!
SANMAARGA's basic mission is to provide interactive music and involve the audience. The ultimate aim is to make them realize that any art form or language becomes beautiful when the artist surrender themselves while performing with humility, love and passion. After all, the borderlines and frontiers between the arts forms of different cultures are imaginary at best! Sanmaarga in the international arena is of course, always tailor made, customized and flexible to suit each contextual situation.
