However, listeners in India can subscribe and enjoy innovative programming and concerts 24 hours a day. Shruti is one of the top five stations offered by WorldSpace Satellite Radio; India’s first and only satellite radio service provider. What a great gift to offer your family in India!

Carnatic music is a vibrant genre with eclectic tendencies. Over the decades, it has become more colourful and exciting and, has proven both mature in stature and youthful in enthusiasm. Shruti now offers a host of daily programmes and weekly specialty programmes, adding value to the music and widening awareness about Carnatic music.

“We focus on known and unknown facts and facets of Carnatic music, play unedited concert recordings, air extensive interviews and play listener requests. We have also recorded a few upcoming artistes and this has created an impact and drawn enquiries from listeners.”
