Shachi offers beautiful, authentic sitar music perfect for creating a serene and sophisticated atmosphere at your event.
As an intermediate sitarist with a dedicated focus on the Hindustani classical tradition, I specialize in providing subtle, evocative background music for:
My repertoire includes several foundational classical Ragas (such as Yaman, Bihag, Rageshree, etc.) and traditional compositions, played solo. My goal is to transport your guests with the peaceful, distinctive sound of the sitar without overpowering the conversation or event.
I am reliable, professionally presented, and dedicated to delivering a seamless musical experience.
Note: My focus is on elegant background ambiance rather than concert-level virtuosity.

I require a stable, clean, and appropriately sized performance area, free from heavy foot traffic. The sitar requires a standard, comfortable seating setup.
When requesting a quote, please include the venue address, event type, and confirmation of whether a house PA system and suitable microphone will be provided.
No, I do not provide a full PA/Sound System. I require the venue or event organizer to provide a basic sound setup, including a suitable instrument microphone (e.g., SM57 or equivalent) and a PA system to connect to, for all performances. My sitar only requires a high-quality mic input to the existing sound setup.
No
I typically aim to arrive 60 to 75 minutes before the scheduled performance start time. This allows sufficient time for load-in, careful setup, tuning, and a quick soundcheck with the venue's provided equipment.
My most requested performance packages are:
1 x 60 minute set (for ceremonies or receptions)
2 x 45 minute sets (with a short break in between)
I am happy to adjust the set times to fit your event schedule, with a maximum performance time of 2 hours in total. My focus is on providing seamless, beautiful background music for the duration you require.
Yes, I am happy to perform outisde but require shade and a flat level surface.
Please note: Due to the sensitivity of the instrument, I reserve the right to move the performance indoors if weather conditions change and the instrument's safety is compromised.
My performance repertoire is set and focused exclusively on the classical Hindustani Ragas and compositions that I have learned.
