Sitar is one of the most popular string instruments of Indian classical music. The instrument is believed to be a modification of Veena, the
divine instrument of Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge. It has evolved over centuries and, through the magic of its strings, continues
to raise one’s inner being. The strings may be many, but the music reflects harmony – it best represents the beauty of unity in diversity.
The team Atul consists of people of different nationalities – American, Brazilian, Chinese, Dutch, English, French and of course Indian,
but together, we will work in harmony for a larger purpose.
Sitar
Music sets us free to dream. It can unite us to sing with one voice.
Such is the value of music.
