Krishna, Kanha, Madhav, Muralidhar, Govind, Dwarkadhish or Shyam – no matter by what name you know the blue-visaged flute-bearer, the enigma remains the same. Popular Gujarati singer Hardik Dave’s folk-style presentation mesmerises you with musical stories of His divine journey. 
 
Step into an evening of serene soundwaves with Hardik and his talented musical collective ‘Iktara’, as they narrate the stories of Krishna’s magnanimous life – from his birth in Gokul to his mischief-filled childhood in Vrindavan, from his profound wisdom captured in the Gita, to his ascension back to Vaikuntha. A fusion of earthy musical instruments from the villages of India and complementing Western symphonies, the unique format explores the connections between Mohan and his murali (flute), between music and divinity, between tradition and culture –underscoring the heartfelt proverb – “Kanha bin gaana kaisa?” The show is woven together with the use of the ancient Indian instrument, the iktara.  
 
Born into a musical family, Hardik Dave had an early initiation into the world of rhythm and melody, following the footprints of his parents Prafulbhai Dave and Bhartiben Kunchala. He has since evolved into his own as a beloved singer who has contributed to many celebrated albums. His most recent hit track is the hummable 'Khamma Veera Ne' – where his sister, singer Ishani Dave sings alongside him. At the heart of Hardik’s work is the zeal to bring about a positive shift in the regional music community.
