Svaram Instruments

Tune into the sounds of strings, chimes & more

Svaram is a musical instrument centre that one might stumble upon while riding on the dusty, unpaved tracks through Auroville. On one side of the road, the sounds of merry clinking and tinkling draws your attention to the instrument workshop; where a few artists are busy designing, carving, tuning and polishing a variety of instruments, from clay ocarinas to metal chimes, from baby rattles to windophones, and many more. In the Sound Garden that leads to the workshop, numerous curious artefacts are strung up or placed on the ground – an assemblage of percussion instruments that invite you to play your own little symphony. One can then visit the store where there are numerous different instruments with little placards explaining what they are and how they can be played.
