Faces of India – 287 Rajasthani Musician
Faces of India
a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.

Rajasthani Musician
He is Sumer Khan! He belongs to Bikaner, a city in the north of Rajasthan. Mr. Sumer Khan now works for Suryagarh Resort in Jaisalmer. Sumer is doing what he knows best, singing local songs and playing his flutes and morsing. In the mornings he sits by the window in the resort and plays his flute for at least a couple of hours when the guests are having their breakfast. His sweet music turns the whole atmosphere magical.
I have shared 2 videos of him, both are short ones. You can enjoy some authentic Rajasthani local music.

I have been to this place. This post just made me go down the sweet memory lane.
I love this series. You write about interesting people everyone. This man is very interesting as well. The music he makes is incredible. I like it.
Lovely picture and great music. Thanks for sharing the videos !
So cool…
Envious of your soul-soothing experiences, now I am longing to fly to Rajasthan which is my home state. Hearty thanks for sharing.
Nice videos to refresh our memories
He sounds very sweet! Liked his expression in the first one and he adorns that little balcony by his presence 🙂
These artist are our cultural ambassador.
It is so nice to see and hear them. Have come across them at all major Rajasthani hotels and attractions.
Great Indrani!
From the pic itself I guessed that he’s from Rajasthan 🙂
Talented musicians or any artist for that matter would shine irrespective of the place or time he/she is born and this Rajathani is an example of it..great article
Sumar is a talented musician. His flute playing is lovely. I don’t think I have ever heard of morsing it is a very unique sound.
This is such a lovely idea. Introducing people instead of cities. Love the photos! x
I think I haven’t heard Rajasthani folk music before.Would love to visit India one day and see all the colors, hear the music and taste the rich flavors of the food. It is always interesting to see a culture throughout the unique character of the locals.
Rajasthan is my favourite place in India and I like photographing the snake charmers in each city.
Rajasthani folk music is so soul stirring and soothing. Sumer Khan epitomizes the sweetness of the melodies of Rajasthan. The videos are really uplifting.
Gorgeous melody! What a good idea to highlight the stories of locals!
This is pretty cool. Nice profile and music.
Beautiful music and photos! It would be wonderful to begin the day listening to Sumer play his flute 🙂
I can almost hear the song! ♥
Short post but a refreshing one! Thanks!
Cool series! I love the photo of the flute player in the window. Nice capture.
There’s something about their folk music that mesmerizes you. I have been fortunate enough to see a live performance at Sam Desert and it was beautiful!
This is a good thing you’re doing; they deserve some exposure.

I don’t know about the area but the music is delightful and almost sounds medieval, I loved it and what a beautiful person
Thank you for sharing this Indrani. This makes me want to visit that place. 🙂
Absolute treat to the ears! Love Rajasthanj folk and this guy is just so good! Thanks for sharing Indrani 🙂
