India’s musical spirit is resonating on the world stage as Sounds of Kumbha, a 12-track album inspired by the Maha Kumbh pilgrimage, earns a Grammy nomination. Created by Delhi-based composer Siddhant Bhatia and commissioned by the Uttar Pradesh government, the album captures temple bells, chants, and hymns from the sacred ghats of Prayagraj. Competing in the Best Global Music Album category at the 68th Grammy Awards, it joins fellow Indian nominees Anoushka Shankar and Shakti, marking an all-Indian face-off. The project, featuring over 50 international artists and Grammy winners, bridges India’s ancient spirituality with global sounds. As it travels from the Ganga’s banks to Los Angeles, Sounds of Kumbha celebrates India’s growing influence on world music.
