Sitar for mental health is a unique music project by Rishab Sharma. The last disciple of sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar will bring his powerful performance to Dubai. The event will take place at Coca-Cola Arena on January 31, 2026. This will be Rishab Sharma’s Middle East debut.
The “Sitar for Mental Health” project mixes Indian classical music with mindfulness. It aims to open conversations about mental well-being. During its India tour, the project drew more than 70,000 people in eight cities. Packed shows in Mumbai and Delhi made it a great success.
Dubai is known as a global hub for wellness and culture. Sharma said the city is perfect for his Middle East debut. His performance will include soulful ragas, high-energy improvisations, and cross-genre experiments. The aim is to give the audience peace, balance, and emotional healing.
The event is brought by Blu Blood and presented by Pantheon Development. It is supported by Dubai Calendar and OPUS Entertainment. Osman Osman, CEO of Blu Blood, said the show will touch on one of today’s most important topics — mental health.
Pandit Ravi Shankar made the sitar famous worldwide. His work with Yehudi Menuhin and George Harrison is legendary. Rishab Sharma continues his legacy with passion and purpose.
Tickets for “Sitar for Mental Health” are available at District.ae and coca-cola-arena.com. This concert promises to be one of Dubai’s cultural highlights in 2026.
