Based in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain 6th November 2026 RenĂ©e B Photo of Band Saptham Band Saptham "Band Saptham Lit Up the Lesher Center’s Diwali Fair Band Saptham delivered a vibrant, high-energy performance at the Lesher Center for the Arts Diwali Fair, and it was one of the highlights of the celebration. From the first number, the band connected with the crowd. Their set blended familiar favorites with fresh, spirited arrangements, and the musicianship was tight, with strong vocals, confident instrumentals, and a rhythm section that kept the whole audience moving. Families, kids, and longtime fans were soon clapping, singing along, and dancing in the aisles. What set the performance apart was its warmth. The band’s stage presence matched the spirit of Diwali, [Choogaada song , Jawani Jaane mann, Medleys ] The sound was clean and balanced, and the pacing kept the audience engaged from start to finish. For a festival about community and celebration, Band Saptham was a perfect fit. They brought great music, great energy, and a sense of togetherness that made the evening memorable. We’d love to see them back at future events." Based in San Francisco, California, United States 6th November 2026 Nihal Jain & Nikhil Jain - Lesher Center for Arts Photo of Nairoz Lakhani Nairoz Lakhani "My friend and I visited Desi North in Milton for dinner on Saturday night, and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the highlight of the evening was the amazing live performance by Nairoz Lakhani. Her voice was beautiful, soulful, and filled the restaurant with positive energy. What made the night even more special was that she graciously sang one of my favorite songs upon request. That personal touch made the evening truly unforgettable. The combination of great food, excellent ambiance, and Nairoz's outstanding performance made for a perfect night. Thank you to Nairoz and the entire Desi North team for creating such a pleasant and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great South Asian food and a fantastic live music experience by Ms. Nairoz Lakhani in Milton." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 25th October 2026 Ausaaf

Frequently asked questions

Hiring Indian / Bollywood entertainment typically costs between $260 and $2,900+, with an average of $900. Cost depends on the number of performers, performance duration and the style of the act. Indian and Bollywood entertainment ranges from solo musicians and vocalists to full ensembles with dancers, dhol drummers and live bands.

The Bollywood acts on Gig Heaven include Bollywood dancers, dhol drummers, sitar and tabla players, Bollywood DJs, live Bollywood bands and fusion acts that blend traditional Indian music with modern styles. Many suppliers can combine several of these elements into a single package for a more complete experience.

Hiring Indian / Bollywood entertainment suits a wide range of events including weddings, mehndi nights, sangeet parties, Diwali celebrations, corporate events and multicultural festivals. The vibrant colours, rhythms and energy of Bollywood entertainment make a strong impression on guests.

Many Bollywood acts offer combined packages including dhol drummers for the entrance, dancers for the reception and a DJ or live band for the party. This keeps the entertainment running smoothly throughout the event. It is advisable to discuss package options with the performers.

Singers are among the most requested acts and cover playback-style Bollywood numbers, ghazals, bhajans and regional-language songs. Some perform with a live group and others with recorded backing, and many will take requests for particular films or eras. Saying which languages and which decades matter most gives the clearest brief.

Indian weddings often run across several events, and different acts are commonly booked for each: a dhol group for the baraat, singers or a live band for the sangeet, and a DJ for the reception. Suppliers who cover more than one of these will quote for the whole run. Setting out the schedule when enquiring usually gets a better price than booking each piece separately.

Many acts work well beyond the Hindi film repertoire and cover Punjabi, Tamil, Gujarati, Bengali and other regional traditions. Bhangra and garba are frequently requested alongside film numbers. Naming the tradition when enquiring matters more than naming a song, as it decides which performers are the right fit.
