Step into an unforgettable evening of Hindustani classical music as Omkar Dadarkar—one of the most luminous voices of his generation—brings the timeless art of Khayal to life.

Joining him on stage are exceptional accompanists:
Anant Joshi (harmonium), whose sensitive playing breathes with every phrase
Pandit Sanju Sahai (tabla), renowned for his precision, power and musical depth

Whether you’re a lifelong listener or new to Indian classical music, this is a rare chance to experience Khayal at its most expressive and immersive.
