GRAMMY Award winner Vishwa Mohan Bhatt has mesmerized the world with his delicate yet fiery music.

With performances in more than 80 countries across numerous prestigious venues and festivals, including Eric Clapton’s Cross Road’s Guitar Festival, Vishwa Mohan has become an international cultural ambassador of Indian music.
He has recorded numerous albums and was awarded the GRAMMY for his album A Meeting by the River with Ry Cooder (1993). The Indian Government awarded Vishwa Mohan the prestigious Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Academy.
Vishwa Mohan Bhatt’s new invention, the Mohan Veena, is a modified version of the steel guitar which blends the Hawaiian slide guitar with traditional Indian sitar, sarod, and vina techniques.
