Dear Visitor,
We are glad you have stopped over here on your quest to understanding and learning the music of India. Here you will find Sitar lessons, tabla lessons, tanpura, dholak and harmonium lessons, and lots of articles on theory of Indian music, information on musical instruments of India and some dedicated pages on our founders Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish (S.D. Batish) and sitar wizard Ashwin Batish.
Our music school activities include teaching instrumental and vocal music of North India. Intruments taught include the Sitar, Tabla, Harmonium, Dilruba, Dholak, Violin, and Vichitra Veena, tanpura (tambura). A special East-West fusion class including a raga jazz, raga rock workshop will be held and students with adequate instrumental skills are invited to sit in and participate.
We have also created a very workable display area for all our music related products such as video tutors, for the sitar, harmonium, tanpura (tambura), dilruba, tabla etc., tabla groove CDs, Books on music of India, musical instruments of India, and a practice room for our students.
We do have a limited selection ofmusical instruments for sale. And, if you are looking for something not listed we may be able to get it for you or direct you to the right source. We do specialize in tweaking sitars and tablas to their finest tone. You can have Ashwin Batish work on the sitar for you personally. His time is tight so call and book in advance prior to shipping your sitar. Please call (800) RAG-MALA.
Bookmark our site and browse it at your convenience. Most of all, help spread the word and put a link to our pages from yours.
We also carry a full line of parts for the sitar and tabla and we can order them for other instruments. Please visit our Catalog when you need to order. If you can't find something email us at info @ batish.com and we will try finding it for you.

Ragmala.com is the broadcasting arm of the Batish Institute of Indian Music and Fine Arts. We will try and use this resource to broadcast our live music concerts, lessons on various Indian music instruments, informal discussions on Indian music, perhaps some lessons on voice, sitar, tabla etc. that will be taught by Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish and his son Shri Ashwin Batish. We hope you will visit regularly and share in this experience. Ragmala radio presently has 2 shows being streamed. Please listen to them at your leisure. More are on their way.
