Anant Naad By Devi Chitralekhaji Brings Bhakti And Indian Music To Yashobhoomi

Anant Naad – Music for the Soul, presented by Devi Chitralekhaji, brought devotional music, bhakti and live performance together at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, on August 23. The immersive experience explored the connection between sacred music and inner reflection, creating a concert format rooted in India’s devotional traditions.

The experience was designed as more than a conventional music concert, combining soulful bhajans, sacred chants, narration and a meditative ambience. The format aimed to encourage audiences to pause, reflect and connect with spirituality through sound and collective participation.

Bringing Bhakti to the Live Music Stage

At the heart of Anant Naad was the idea of presenting devotional music in a contemporary, large-scale live format while retaining its spiritual essence. The musical journey featured elements including sitar, flute, violin, tabla and pakhawaj, creating a soundscape inspired by the spiritual traditions of Vrindavan.

The programme began with Ganesh Vandana and ambient sitar in Raag Bhairav, followed by sacred chants and devotional compositions centred on Krishna bhakti, surrender and divine love. The experience culminated in a Mahamantra Kirtan, bringing the audience together through collective singing and devotion.

Presented by Devi Chitralekhaji, the experience reflects her wider work around bhakti, spiritual storytelling and devotional music. She has been associated with Shrimad Bhagwat Katha and Sankirtan Yatra initiatives and continues to use music and spiritual discourse to connect audiences with devotion and inner peace.

The event was produced by TribeVibe and Alphonso Studios, with BIG FM also associated with the experience. Anant Naad was positioned as part of a growing movement bringing devotional music into contemporary live entertainment spaces.

A New Space for Devotional Music

The Yashobhoomi event also reflects the evolving role of devotional music within India’s live entertainment landscape. Rather than being experienced only in temples or traditional spiritual settings, bhajans, chants and kirtans are increasingly being presented through concert-scale productions that invite audiences to participate.

For Anant Naad, the emphasis remained on the emotional and spiritual power of music. By combining traditional devotional forms with live production, the experience created a bridge between India’s spiritual heritage and contemporary audiences, positioning music not simply as entertainment but as a medium for connection, reflection and collective experience.
