Chanakya - Rishab Rikhiram Sharma (Live from Mumbai) | Sitar for Mental Health Tour 2024

Happy Diwali Everyone! Presenting the full performance of the viral song "Chanakya" by Rishab Rikhiram Sharma. "Chanakya" is an ode to the legendary kingmaker Chanakya (Kautilya), who was instrumental in guiding Chandragupta to overthrow the Nanda dynasty. As the third release from Rishab's album Navaras, this powerful track captures the spirit of victory, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the essence of freedom. Out of the Navaras (9 emotions), "Chanakya" channels Veer Rasa (heroic sentiment) with its grand orchestration and immersive sound design. This live performance was part of Rishab's Sitar for Mental Health India Tour 2024 in Mumbai, presented in partnership with HSBC.
