About

Madhavas

Features
Read full description

By The Krishna’s Mercy Madhavas Rock Band started out like any other rock band consisting of friends in college. Then in 2009 Madhavas Rock Band burst into the music scene by winning Second Runner up prize in prestigious “India’s Got Talent” Season 3. Loved by the audience for their spunky looks and energetic music, the band was appreciated by celebrities like Katrina Kaif, Shah Rukh Khan, Kiron Kher, Sonali Bendre etc. They made it their USP to sing Bhajans and lend a spiritual flavor to their music. Their performances in each episode had the audience and judges swinging to the ancient slokas and bhajans presented in a contemporary way.
