Your live singer in Srinagar

Srinagar’s life revolves around the water. The Dal and Nigeen lakes carry shikaras and houseboats, floating markets sell flowers and vegetables at dawn, and the Mughal gardens of Nishat, Shalimar and Chashme Shahi climb in terraces towards the Zabarwan hills. The old city holds the Jamia Masjid, the Hazratbal shrine and centuries of Kashmiri craft.

Music has a deep place in Kashmiri culture. Sufiana kalam, performed with the santoor, the rabab and the saz, is a classical form of the valley, and wedding songs called wanwun are sung by women. A visiting singer of Hindi and Sufi songs finds an audience that appreciates poetry and melody.

Hotels along the lake and in the new city host receptions and corporate evenings. The rules of the hotel and local advice on timing apply, and the band keeps equipment light for boat and garden settings.

The year in Srinagar

The Tulip Festival in April opens the season, summer brings the crowds, autumn paints the chinars and winter brings snow and quiet. Eid and the Urs of Sufi shrines are major occasions, and cultural festivals are held on the Dal.

What Srinagar hosts expect

Politeness and modest dress matter, and tea is shared before business. A performer who greets with a salaam, listens before leaving and keeps the programme unhurried makes friends.

A Dal Lake evening in songs

A houseboat or lakeside dinner is hushed and magical. Begin with Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahan, a song about wandering, then Tum Mile, Roja Jaaneman and Dil Hai Chhota Sa. A sprinkling of Sufiana kalam in the santoor style, if a local musician is invited, makes the evening specific to the valley.

Venues and planning in Srinagar

Srinagar’s receptions and corporate evenings use the hotels on the Boulevard by Dal Lake and in the Sonwar and Rajbagh areas, houseboats on the Dal and Nigeen lakes for small gatherings, and gardens such as those at Nishat and Shalimar for photographs.

Local advice on travel and timings is followed for every booking, and the hotel coordinates the plan. Houseboat events are limited in size and equipment, and boat transfers depend on the weather. Spring and autumn are the best seasons, and the band flies in a day early.
