Saraswati Puja: A Traditional Musical Homage
Event description
Join us in a musical homage to Saraswati, the Goddess of art, music, and wisdom, in this day-to-evening journey that will weave mesmerizing classical Indian ragas into a rich tapestry of sound. Featuring performances from some of the Bay Area's most accomplished musicians, including direct disciples of the renowned maestros Ali Akbar Khan and Swapan Chaudhuri, this event is a continuation of a cherished tradition we've held for many years in our private home, and are now bringing to a community venue. Whether you wish to stay and immerse yourself in the full experience or join us for a few hours, our venue, Soft Medicine Sanctuary in the heart of Sebastopol, is the perfect setting for this sacred gathering.
Saraswati Puja, with its deep roots in tradition and spirituality, is more than an event; it's a living, breathing ritual that connects us to the ancient rhythms of music and community. It's a celebration where every note and melody becomes a part of a larger, sacred practice of offering to the Goddess. This Puja is an opportunity to experience the confluence of past and present, where the timeless rituals of music and communal gathering are not just observed but deeply felt and lived.
