Riverside Ragas: DIVINE MOMENTS
by Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt
Creator of the Mohan Veena and Grammy Award winner, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt has mesmerized the world with his pristine pure, delicate yet fiery music.

Vishwa Mohan Bhatt has become an international cultural ambassador of Indian music. He has recorded numerous albums and was awarded the Grammy Award for his album A Meeting by the River with Ry Cooder (1993). Other accolades include Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri and the Sangeet Natak Academy from the Indian Government for his contribution to music.
