Welcome to MRIGYA, where unforgettable sounds, indestructible images and inescapable impact await you.

Mrigya ... The instruments of world harmony

An Indian band in global village. Where every member of the audience is a citizen of the world. No matter where he comes from, or what he speaks, he understands the language of Mrigya. This is possible due to the musical diversity of the band which comes together as one unique sound. A sound which rises above nationality and language. A sound which is a culture of its own. A sound which unites the world as one family “Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam”. Our music carries with it people of a variety of cultures and nationalities for its uniqueness in fusing the Blues, Funk, Folk, Latin, Rock & Jazz with Indian Classical. Mrigya created history at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival U.K., 2001, by becoming the first Indian band to get a 5 star rating with the Scotsman - Scotland’s leading daily. Apart from the Scotsman, even the Evening News termed Mrigya's performances as a “must watch”. Mrigya won ‘The Herald Angel Award’, presented by the ‘Herald Newspaper’ for excellence in music, dance & theatre at the Edinburgh Festival, 2002, making it yet another first for an Indian band. Mrigya also received the ‘Tap Water Award’, given by ‘Out of The Blue Trust’, for music promoting communal harmony, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2002.
