Kshitij is a group of musicians and music-lovers devoted to the creation and experience of live Hindustani music in an ambience conducive to musical interaction and spontaneity.

Founded in 2001, by Anand Thakore, in collaboration with fellow Hindustani vocalists, Krishna Bhat, Sanjeev Chimmalgi, late Pt. Kedar Bodas, and tabla-player Rupak Kharvandikar, the group is based in Mumbai and organises traditional Hindustani ‘mehfil-s’ regularly, in private residences and public auditoriums.

What we hope to create, as often as we can, is an atmosphere in which the process of music-making and the appreciation of music, is of prime concern.
