India’s only Sanskrit band, Dhruvaa has taken Sanskrit shlokas and hymns from the holy scriptures and given it a western twist to weave musical magic.
Dhruvaa is the brainchild of Sanjay Dwivedi, a Sanskrit scholar and follower of classical music. He has also written several Sanskrit plays. After enthralling audiences with 12 performances across the country, the band is eyeing to spread their unique Sanskrit compositions across the world.
When the band takes over the stage, enchanting hymns are blended with western-rock music that enthral the audience. Their hymns include mantras from the Rigveda, sholkas of Bhaja Govindam composed by Adi Shankaracharya, the rhythmic mantras of Shiv Tandav, Geet Govindam by Jaidev, Madhurashtakam by Vallabhacharya, Prem Patras like those from Abhigyan Shakuntalam and tales of a sailor etc. Apart from these, the band also creates their original compositions on poems and prose which talk of the life of a common man.
