Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 21 (ANI): Sitar virtuoso Rishab Rikhiram Sharma has announced a 10-city India tour as part of the Asia leg of his internationally acclaimed Sitar For Mental Health Tour 2026.
The India leg will take place between March and April 2026, covering Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata and New Delhi.
The India tour also carries special significance as it reaffirms Sharma's commitment to fans following the postponement of his 2025 India tour due to geopolitical tensions, as per a press release.
"Music and its power to heal is truly a blessing, and I feel incredibly grateful to be able to share this gift with the world. While we made the difficult decision to postpone the 2025 India tour, it was done with purpose and solidarity, standing with my country when it mattered most. Since then, the journey has taken us across the globe, performing to sold-out audiences in some of the world's most revered venues," Rishab said, according to the release.
"As we step into a brand new year, I'm filled with excitement to finally return home and honour the many heartfelt requests from my Indian fans. This homecoming will be grand, immersive, and an experience of a lifetime, celebrating the healing power of the sitar while continuing to raise awareness for mental health. Sitar for Mental Health is coming back home, and I can't wait to share this journey with you," he added.
