Master of the 7 Swars

Indian classical music remains a timeless art. As much as it is cherished, the prospect of learning it often inspires fear. Swarpeti conquers this fear and provides a gateway into the magical and colourful world of Hindustani music through a blend of storytelling, activities, sound and shadow theatre.

This magical pop-up book on Indian classical music makes learning Indian music more experiential and exciting. Master of the 7 Swars, the first book in the series, flies alongside a crow named Kaga, who wishes to sing like the legendary musician Tansen. The book bursts with colours, pop-ups and shadow colour play immersing readers in an interactive tale to help Kaga achieve her dream learning swars from the voices of 7 animals, from whom the swars emerged.

Through the book you can see, touch and feel music as you discover the 7 Swars and create music with the Swar Tarang app while integrating activities and stories from the book.
