Nature has the power to heal your body, mind and soul, and Svaram Musical Instruments and Research Centre in Auroville seems to be a living testimony to that. With years of research, practice and exploration into the ancient Indian culture came up Svaram Musical Instruments and Research Centre. It was set up in 2003 as a centre for getting the people of rural villages together and making musical instruments from the products of nature and it continues doing the same. They make instruments out of mud, clay, wood, seeds, metal and stones.
Fundamental to its activities and being a research centre, Svaram focuses exploring deeper into the ethnic music production, yoga practices and ways of ancient India in order to inculcate the same with the ideologies of contemporary music-making.
