Mandi
As the sacred atmosphere of the International Shivratri Festival fills the temples and cultural spaces of Choti Kashi Mandi, a budding voice from Himachal Pradesh has marked the occasion with a special musical offering.
Tanisha Sethi, a resident of Sundernagar, has released her latest devotional-contemporary project, ‘Bhandari Baba Trance’, on YouTube today — a release that many see as a meaningful coincidence, perfectly aligning with the spiritual energy of Shivratri celebrations underway in the district.
The timing of the launch adds to the song’s devotional essence, as thousands of devotees gather in Mandi during the globally known festival of faith, tradition, and culture.
A Devotional Track with Modern Energy
Tanisha describes Bhandari Baba Trance as more than just a song — calling it a deeply personal journey filled with emotion, devotion, and creative expression.
“This project is very close to my heart. It is a genre I always wanted to create, and now I have finally delivered it,” she shared, adding that the song carries a special blend of faith and musical energy.
A Decade-Long Journey on Stage
A well-known performer across Himachal’s cultural circuit, Tanisha has been working as a professional stage artist for over 12 years, delivering live performances at fairs, festivals, and major platforms throughout the state.
Her strong stage presence and ability to engage audiences have made her a recognised name in Himachal’s growing music landscape.
Association with T-Series and Recorded Projects
Tanisha’s career reached a major milestone when she worked with T-Series from 2018 to 2020, recording and presenting multiple musical projects.
She has featured in five cover songs and one original track released under the renowned label, reflecting her versatility as a vocalist.
Awards and National Recognition
Tanisha has consistently earned accolades for her talent. She won Second Prize in Himachal Ki Awaaz (Junior) and has been a three-time finalist at the Winter Carnival, recently securing the Second Runner-Up position.
She also had the honour of representing Himachal Pradesh at a prestigious World Culture Event, performing before an international gathering that included participants from 166 countries.
Strong Academic Background in Vocal Music
Alongside her performance achievements, Tanisha holds a Master’s Degree in Vocal Music, with formal training in classical as well as contemporary singing techniques — adding depth and discipline to her artistry.
A Collective Effort of Faith and Teamwork
The singer credited the project’s success to the unwavering support of her family and team. Her parents, Yoginder Pal Sethi and Radha Sethi, not only produced the song but also appeared in the project, offering their blessings in a unique way.
