Rithvik’s music holds the essence and core values of the Carnatic art form, while also bringing a creative and imaginative touch that makes his music stand out. He has been performing for more than a decade, with concerts across India and in several other countries such as Australia, the US, New Zealand, UK, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Germany and many more. He has shared the stage with some of the stalwarts from the industry like TK Murthy, Umayalpuram Dr K Sivaraman, Trichy Sankaran, Karaikudi Mani, Guravayur Dorai and others. The young musician is already the recipient of several awards and scholarships, and is only gaining more recognition as he sings his way into a bright future.

To complement the melodies, there is a special menu that has been put together that is sure to bring out the festive spirit in everyone. Traditional favourites get a modern twist in true J. Hind style, with dishes such as kothimbir vade, chettinad paneer tikka, and chilly lollipop with curry leaf tempura as starters. Among the mains are classics such as puliyogare thimbale with peri peri potatoes, doughnut ildy with chemeen curry, and more kalli in both veg and non-veg options. These are just the tip of what will be a meal that will make the taste buds break out in song.
