Welcome


Vidur’s music bespeaks a soul searching intensity, a struggle deep within, with his strong and melodious style, a style unique and characteristic of this search. He has been enthralling people with his music for more than two decades. He has his own school of Sitar (Harmony), rooted in a philosophical understanding of Raga Music and the Instrument. From life’s experiences, Vidur modeled a relationship between Team Building and Music, which is appreciated and received very well in corporate fields, India and abroad. He designed his own course of ‘Meditation with Sitar’, playing his music, in its meditative and spiritual best.
