Featured Artist
Harini Rao
Hindustani Classical Vocalist
Harini Rao brings a deep and graceful approach to Hindustani classical music, with a focus on rāga, voice, nuance, and attentive listening. Her music invites listeners into the emotional and melodic depth of the tradition, making the baithak setting especially personal and intimate.
For this Nāda Baithak, Harini will present an intimate rāga-based evening designed for close listening, conversation, and shared appreciation of Hindustani music.
The Baithak
A Closer Way to Experience Hindustani Music
Nāda Baithak brings Hindustani classical music into an intimate setting — closer than a concert hall, more refined than a casual gathering. It is an evening where music, conversation, hospitality, and community come together with care.
Rooted in Hindustani classical music, Nāda Baithak may also explore semi-classical, devotional, folk-classical, and contemporary rāga-inspired forms — always with respect for the art, the artist, and the listening experience.

Our Host
A Note from the Host
Nāda Baithak began from a simple wish: to create a warmer, closer way for people to experience Hindustani classical music — not only as performance, but as culture, conversation, and community.
As a lifelong admirer of Indian classical music, and now a student of Hindustani music, I wanted to create a space where artists are supported with dignity, families and children can come closer to the art form, and like-minded people can gather around something beautiful, living, and timeless.
