Cultural Directions

What should
exist next?

House of Swar is documenting India's classical music traditions one work at a time. The sequence of works is not predetermined - it is responsive to the conversations we have with collectors, scholars, and those who engage with our mission.

If there is a tradition, an instrument, a period, a lineage, or a cultural story that you believe deserves documentation - tell us. We read every submission. We take these seriously.

Examples
  • - The cultural geography of the sarod
  • - Lineages of the Carnatic veena
  • - History of the tabla in North India
  • - The bansuri and its cultural migrations
  • - The ghazal tradition and its courts
