Lehra accompaniment by Abhishek Iyer on Harmonium, Baljit Singh on Dilruba and Sharanjeet Singh Mand on Sitar, at Cassius Khan and Amika Kushwaha's 8th Annual Mushtari Begum Festival of Indian Classical Music and Dance at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster, BC, Canada.

This is the first ever such performance at the Mushtari Begum Festival and in Canada, that two Kathak dancers and two Tabla players perform together on one stage. A truly momentous occassion in Canada's Music and Dance scene.

The Raga performed is Saraswati, and starts off with an invocation of the Goddess of Music and ends with a Thumri composed by Cassius Khan in Raga Miya Ki Malhaar who sings and plays Harmonium this time to Amarjeet Singh's Tabla.
