Play

Play is a short-form instrumental composition by Indian classical sitarist Niladri Kumar. Released as a standalone track, the piece spans 1 minute and 39 seconds and showcases Kumar’s signature fusion of traditional Hindustani raga structures with contemporary production techniques.

Kumar performs the sitar as the sole instrumentalist in the recording. The track employs a concise arrangement that emphasizes melodic phrasing and rhythmic precision, though specific raga or taala details remain undocumented in available sources. The production style suggests a blend of acoustic sitar tones with subtle electronic texturing, a characteristic approach in Kumar’s later experimental works.

The track circulates primarily through digital platforms, often as part of Kumar’s broader discography compilations or live performance archives.
