Fusion composition loosely based on Raga Charukeshi.
It starts with a very sentimental, serene and emotional feel, then
gradually builds up the energy with vigorous taans (melodical
fills) on sitar. |

Instrumental version of the national song Vande
Mataram, written by B. C. Chatterjee. Vande Mataram is
a prayer to the Mother Land that was sung by freedom fighters all
over India. It was then denied the status of national anthem in
favour of a more consensual Jana Gana Mana. It still remains
the dearest song in the heart of most Indians. |

An Indian version of the famous Christmas Carroll
"Silent Night"!.. This song was created out of a standard
MIDI file of the original, where the lead track was routed to the
Sitar instrument in the Swar Sampler, while pitch bend and chikari
strokes were added. Tabla tracks composed through SwarShala replaced
the original Drums. |

The Aarti is a collective prayer rendered
at the end of a Hindu worship (Puja), while a tray holding an oil
lamp and incense is waived to invoke the deity's blessings. There
are different Aarti songs to different deities, but this is one
of the most popular tune. |

"Now that I am in love with you, what can
I do?..". This beautiful song can be understood in a romantic
sense, but it can also have a deeper meaning as the prayer from
a devotee to God. It was composed in CakeWalk, by combining tracks
exported from SwarShala and others played directly through the keyboard. |

Garba is a famous dance form from Gujrat. Traditionally
a religious dance performed in honour of Mother Earth, it is nonetheless
also fun and interactive. Garba is performed by a group of women
who dance in a circular pattern and clap their hands. Sometimes
sticks replace claps, in which case it is called as Dandiya. |

directly from the keyboard, using Swar Sampler. These instruments
give an overall impression of a mountain tune, hence the title. |
