Home is a studio album by Indian sitarist Anoushka Shankar. Deutsche Grammophon released the album on July 10, 2015. The album consists of four tracks that showcase Hindustani classical music.

Anoushka Shankar performs all compositions on the sitar. The album opens with "Guru: Raga Jogeshwari," which comprises three movements: "Alaap," "Jod, Jhala," and "Gat in Rupaktaal." The first movement, "Alaap," introduces the raga in a slow, meditative tempo without rhythmic accompaniment. The second movement, "Jod, Jhala," increases the tempo and incorporates rhythmic patterns. The third movement, "Gat in Rupaktaal," features a fixed composition set to a seven-beat cycle.

The second track, "Celebration: Raga Manj Khamaj," includes four sections: "Aochar," "Dadra," "Teentaal," and "Coda." "Aochar" serves as a brief introductory phrase. "Dadra" presents a six-beat rhythmic cycle, while "Teentaal" shifts to a sixteen-beat cycle. The "Coda" concludes the piece with a return to the raga’s essence.

The album emphasizes traditional Hindustani classical structures while maintaining improvisational elements. The release does not credit additional musicians or vocalists. The label did not provide specific liner notes or production details beyond the tracklist.
