Defeater of Death - Epic Indian Music

Music by Farya Faraji, based on melodic recitations of religious Hindu mantras, with vocals by Sirisha Ananthul. The lyrics sung here in Sanskrit are the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, which translates to “Great death-defeating mantra.“ A religious prayer to one of Rudra’s aspects, who is himself one of the aspects of Shiva in Hinduism. The instrumentation consists primarily of various Indian percussions like the dhol, tablas and the mridangam, with instrumentation based on a tampura drone following Classical Hindustani and Carnatic practices, a sitar, a bansuri, dilruba, sarod, and a santoor. Lyrics in Sanskrit: ॐ त्र्य॑म्बकं यजामहे सु॒गन्धिं॑ पुष्टि॒वर्ध॑नम् उ॒र्वा॒रु॒è
