Playing raga Ahir Bhairav on my sitar

Ahir Bhairav is one of my favourite raga. I often like to play this raga in the morning. After my each day riyaz (practice) I often create some new paintings on paper or canvas.

watercolour painting on handmade paper

Sitar is a world famous Indian classical musical instrument.It is an acoustic instrument. As a Fine Artist and also as a performing Classical Sitar Artiste I have a deep love for this beautiful instrument.  When I  do my fine art  works in my studio I often like to listen  a classical sitar recital of my own or other artists in  cd player. This helps to enhance my creative energy and also motivates me to create more.

This is a semi-abstract watercolour painting on sitar  created by me last year.
