00:00 Sanskrit, a language rich in history and Indian culture which played a pivotal role in the

00:07 development of various Indian languages, has been instrumental in preserving sacred texts

00:13 such as the Vedas, Upanishads and epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana.

00:19 Its grammatical structure has contributed significantly to linguistic studies.

00:24 Does it still exist in Indian society or is it vanishing with the influence of Western culture?

00:31 Once a jewel in India's linguistic crown is gradually fading into obscurity amidst the currents of modernity.

00:40 But, a Pune-based musical band named Dhruva has adopted the language to promote it in a very entertaining manner.

00:48 The group incorporates musical fusion and utilises instruments such as the tabla, santur, guitar and keyboard.

00:56 They aim to engage young audiences by translating popular songs into Sanskrit using easy words for better understanding.

01:04 The same band has recreated the Oscar-winning Natu Natu track from RRR, which has ignited a musical frenzy

01:13 captivating audiences offline and online.

01:17 They have earned a dedicated number of following because of this.

01:21 They have also recreated Sree Valli from the movie Pushpa.

01:25 The unique initiative not only features original Sanskrit compositions but also Sanskrit versions of popular Marathi,

01:33 Hindi and regional-language songs presented in mesmerising stage shows.

01:39 A Sanskrit professor from Mumbai shared his insights into creative endeavour.

01:44 He explained, "A lot of literature in Sanskrit is spiritual.

01:49 I thought if the language has to be popularised among youngsters, it should be presented to them in a way they would like to listen to it.

01:58 So, I decided to convert the popular songs into Sanskrit with my team."

02:03 Pranjal Akal Kotkar, a member of the band, commented, "Many don't understand Korean but still listen to it.

02:13 That's the power of music. We thought the same success was possible for Sanskrit songs.

02:20 This language has the power to express deep meaning in minimal words."

02:25 To rejuvenate Sanskrit, they are planning to start a centre on Sanskrit-themed corporate gifts and decor.

02:33 Collaboration with jewellery designers are also in the works.

02:36 The Sanskrit music band is making its mark by rejuvenating Sanskrit in a manner that strikes a chord with today's audiences.

02:46 Their dedication to the language's profound cultural legacy shines through their inventive approach,

02:51 cultivating a fresh admiration for Sanskrit in our contemporary world and preserving it for the future.
