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.

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🙏

The melodies flow live river of devotion, ancient yet fresh, as if calling to the divine realms. His voice, rich and tender, merges with the seetar's sacred sound- a timeless connection between heaven and earth. Every raag, every rhythm is a soul's offering, painting the air with devotion and beauty, as if his hands themselves were dipped in divinity. ❤️❤️

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.

Chanakya’s legacy endures in the realms of politics and economics. His ideas continue to inspire modern thinkers and leaders, as he is seen as a pioneer of statecraft and pragmatic governance.
