Each member of our team brings unique expertise and years of experience, having learned from master musicians and traditional gurus who have preserved these ancient art forms. The music of Rajasthan is characterized by its soulful melodies, intricate rhythms, and the use of traditional instruments like the dholak, khartal, morchang, sarangi, and ravanahatha, all of which our musicians master with exceptional skill.
