"Born from the hills, not the industry — the Himachali Folk Ensemble is a collective of local musicians from the villages surrounding the GAIA valley. Passed down through generations, their music carries the pulse of the mountains — steeped in ritual, celebration, and ancestral memory.
With instruments like the narsingha, dhol, shehnai, and mountain flutes, they create rhythms that once echoed through temples and harvest gatherings — now finding new resonance on the GAIA stage. Their presence is not a performance, but a living offering: an invitation to listen with the heart, to sway with the earth, and to witness the sound of tradition still alive.
A reminder that not all music is made for the charts. Some is made for the soul"
