Welcome to Ragmala TV. I will be putting up a schedule of live broadcasts so keep checking this space. Press the arrow on the image to listen to our live streaming broadcast.
This site is dedicated to the memory of my father Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish (1914-2006)
We are the broadcasting arm of the Batish Institute of Indian Music and Fine Arts. We are based in Santa Cruz, California, USA. Our goals in starting this site are simple. We will try and use this resource to broadcast our live concerts, video lessons, 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.
