Indira “What is Sufism but the intention to go towards the truth by means of love and devotion. This which we call Tariqat is the singer’s spiritual path to God”

Wandering Pilgrims

Indira

Introducing Indira, the singer who’s voice is an instrument of beauty and power, of earthy sweetness and stark sensuality, evoking images of modern grace and old-world mysticism. Classically trained in the Patiala Gayaki, Indira’s music is a tribute to age old traditions set against the backdrop of our times.

Indira’s talent and her ability to apply it to an unexpected genre was very much part of her own evolving process. In a genre dominated by soul-stirring greats like Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali saab, Jagjit Singh and

Pankaj Udhas… here’s a true female counterpart - one who’s ‘dard’ and ‘ehsaas’ are comparable to the greats.

Having toured widely all over the world, Indira has built a reputation for herself, enthralling audiences with live renditions the world over including the U.S., the UK, Portugal and Brunei as well across the length and

breadth of India.
