My dhrupad guru, Murali Mohan Gowda, playing the rudra veena at Indian Heritage Academy in Bengaluru, with its two gourds and fretted neck.

Rudra Veena

In June 2026 I went to hear my guru, Murali Mohan Gowda, play the rudra veena live at Indian Heritage Academy, and I took my camera along to shoot the event. I was waiting for the expressions that show the connection between the musician and the divine, and this frame is the one that shows it.
