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.

Vocals, Sitar, and Music Production: Rishab Rikhiram Sharma
Venue: NCPA Auditorium, Mumbai

Omg, I'm a professional Kathak dancer. This is my first time listing this song. I have goosebumps in my entire body. Every cell in my body wants to dance to these beats. But at the same time, if I'll dance, I'm scared I won't be able to do justice to the music. cause is at another level. I feel like when I listen to this, I'm not in 2024 anymore; I'm dancing in the Darbar of an ancient mahal of a king. wow And fun fact: when he started playing the sitar in a few secs, I liked and subscribed. And then I heard the entire song by closing my eyes, enjoining and soaking every single sec of it. loved it. Thank you for this amazing piece of art, and thank you for such original music.

Hello, I am Turkish and I admire Indian music. I find it very fascinating that traditional Indian music, and especially the sitara, is a very special musical instrument. Recently, I came across your work Chanakya and I was amazed, it is very impressive. I also loved your other works. When I read your story, I understood why it affected you. I downloaded it to my phone without your permission. I set it as phone call sound. It was also meaningful that he appeared before me after the call to liberate me. Every time my phone rings, my soul feels wings. But I don't want to take away anyone's rights, would you allow me? I started following your fascinating music, I hope one day I can watch your concert live. I wish you continued success🙏

I'm a 16-year-old girl, and while I don't often struggle with negativity, there are times when life's challenges feel overwhelming. Listening to your music today was a truly transformative experience. The energy in your music radiates positivity and strength-it felt like being surrounded by an aura of protection and empowerment. I deeply respect you and your art. Seeing you feels like you symbolize the Higher Energy of the Universe itself, channeling it into your music to inspire and uplift us all. Thank you for sharing such a profound gift with the world!❤️

The energy is within a few seconds. I love this divine energy of Hinduism. The sound of Sitar and his voice define purity. I am so addicted to it more than any other music out of Hollywood. This was so pure, it just melted my heart and purified it. I love the sound created by Sitar.

[@physicsstudent9701]

Sitar has nothing to do with Hinduism. From its origin to its present form, only Muslims names have led its development- Khusrau Khan invented the sitar from a Safavid instrument called setar

​@@physicsstudent9701Sitar is a plucked stringed instrument used in Hindustani classical music. This instrument is believed to have been derived from Veena.😂😂

Listening to this music gives me goosebumps. I’m Chinese who has immigrated to the States. Traveled to India twice, one in 2016 (Mumbai) and the other in 2018 (Delhi to Varanasi). Totally amazed by the diversity, beauty and richness of India and Indian culture, history, music, art and above all, smiling kind gorgeous Indian people. I miss India and wish to travel again to that amazing land. Love ❤❤❤

Meri life me bahot se goals hain and me unko achieve bhi kar raha hun, goal are related to materialistic world and some are to spirituality also but kabhi maine apni life me decide nahi kiya tha ki life ka prime goal kya hona chahiye, and starting me sitar se pahle jo apne kuch sing kiya hai usne esa feel karaya ki I forgot everything and dived deep into something that I can't express in words. Thank you Rishabh, thank you so much for giving my life a beautiful turn.

I honestly can’t explain what this particular sitar music does to me. It’s like it speaks directly to my soul, healing parts of me I didn’t even realize needed it. I just stumbled across rishab rikhiram sharma today I didn’t even know he existed until now and I’m completely blown away. This song isn’t just music; it’s something so much deeper, something I can’t fully put into words. Every note feels alive, like it’s carrying a piece of something ancient and sacred. I’ve never experienced anything quite like this. Point blank period.

A fellow 16 year old here who's been learning classical vocal music for about 6 years now I suppose? You are exactly what our generation needs. New, fresh music but it still has the nostalgic, powerful essence of our old classics? I can't really put a finger on what exactly im feeling but it feels extremely empowering and motivates me to learn more.
