Panchtarni a Delhi based Indie Pop Rock Fusion band derived its name from the Abode of Lord Shiva whose ideology they follow. Panchtarni is a place on pedestrian way to Baba Amarnath shrine cave where it is said that 5 holy rivers merge to form one. Music as we consider is also a merger and fusion of various cultures, natures, ideas and flows to form one unique tone, feel and way to connect with the lord.. This whole idea makes us Panchtarni.. Moreover it gives us a feel that we are closer to our own Lord Shiva :).
Panchtarni particularly was formed in Jan'12 by Rahul tikoo (lead vocalist and founder) by grouping musicians from their previous band Roooh.
