Raga Ragini Vaditra (RRV) Ensemble

Tradition in Fusion, Expression Without Limits

All Ages

Raga Ragini Vaditra (RRV) is Manollasini’s signature program and creative space for artistic fusion. Rooted in classical techniques yet open to fresh interpretations, RRV blends Indian classical, folk, and contemporary forms — bringing vibrant new presentations to life on stage under the direction of Artistic Director Manasa Khandrika.
As an ensemble, RRV unites live music and dance performances, combining traditional percussion with Western instruments and dynamic choreography. Through collaborations with freelance artists, dedicated educators, and partner schools, RRV bridges East and West — reminding us that music speaks one universal language to the human soul.
RRV elevates and evolves culture by encouraging artists of all ages — children, teens, and adults — to adapt tradition to today’s world. By nurturing creativity, skill-building, and joyful learning, Manollasini inspires new generations to pursue their artistic passions while staying deeply connected to devotion and cultural roots.
In addition, RRV fusion invites local middle and high school music departments to participate — blending fresh ideas and diversity into International Day celebrations that showcase cultures from around the world, with India’s rich heritage taking its place alongside others.
