Welcome to Raaga Science Exprience
Experience the magic of India’s rich traditions at Raaga Science Festival, a three-day celebration of music, dance, and culture in the heart of Rajasthan. Join artists and audiences from around the world for an unforgettable journey through soulful performances and cultural harmony.
About Raaga Science
Raaga Science is a living celebration of India’s oldest and most profound tradition — the raaga. Founded by Ustad Nawab Khan, a ninth-generation maestro of the santoor, Raaga Science was born from his vision to share the timeless beauty of Indian classical music with the world. Rooted in the Jodhpur gharana, one of Rajasthan’s great musical lineages, it carries forward a heritage that blends history, spirituality, and culture.
For us, music is more than performance — it is a way of life. The raaga carries centuries of stories, weaving together royal courts, Sufi mystics, folk traditions, and spiritual practices like naada yoga. Through our annual Raaga Science Festival in Jodhpur and our intimate retreats, we create spaces where audiences experience music as it was meant to be — not just heard, but deeply felt.
Our mission is to preserve tradition while embracing new expressions. Alongside performances, Raaga Science offers immersive experiences: music-talks, sunrise and sunset ragas, temple and desert concerts, cultural walks, culinary exchanges, and conversations that reveal how art, faith, and history intertwine in Rajasthan’s syncretic culture.
At Raaga Science, we believe that when people listen together — across backgrounds, borders, and generations — music becomes a bridge that unites. We invite you to join us, explore the inner sound, and discover the science of the raaga: a journey of harmony, heritage, and human connection.
Upcoming Event
You are invited to experience the Raaga Science Festival, a three-day retreat in the Rajasthan countryside celebrating India’s most ancient form of classical music. Led by Ustad Nawab Khan, a ninth-generation santoor maestro, the festival brings alive the story of the raaga — from its royal court origins to today’s creative expressions.
Across the weekend, you will witness sunrise and sunset ragas, intimate temple garden and desert performances, and music-talks that open the doors to the world of naada yoga, Sufism, and the syncretic traditions of Rajasthan. Beyond the music, discover Jodhpur’s living heritage — tabla makers, lac bangle craftsmen, bustling markets, family recipes, and moments of deep relaxation at the beautifully restored Pal Garh fort-palace, your home for the festival.
This is more than a concert — it is an immersive retreat of sound, spirit, and culture, where every note carries centuries of wisdom and every experience brings you closer to the heart of Rajasthan.
- Spaces are limited for this intimate retreat.
