The Evening Begins with Laughter and Insight
The night opens with Varun Grover, one of India’s most respected and thoughtful voices in contemporary stand-up comedy. Known for his sharp observations, poetic delivery, and intellectual depth, Varun’s performance goes beyond punchlines.
His set blends humor with reflection, inviting the audience to laugh while quietly questioning the world around them. It is a comedy that stays with you long after the applause.
Dinner, Conversation, and Connection
As the evening unfolds, guests enjoy an elegant dinner in a setting designed for conversation and connection. This is a shared table experience where ideas flow freely, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere that encourages presence rather than distraction.
​The pace is intentional. The setting is thoughtful. The focus is on being fully in the moment.
A Transition into Musical Transcendence
​As the night deepens, the experience moves from reflection to reverence with a live performance by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, one of the most revered figures in Indian classical music.
A legendary sarod maestro, his music has carried the soul of Indian classical tradition across generations and continents. His performance is not just a concert, but an emotional and spiritual journey that invites stillness, depth, and awe.
