ROBBINSVILLE, NJ -Musician Shankar Mahadevan, along with Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa, last week sought divine blessings at the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham here.

Shankar shared a series of photographs from the temple visit on Instagram. He described it as a blessing to begin the tour with the temple visit.

Shankar is part of the Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy trio, known for composing music for Indian films. His non-film album ‘Breathless’ topped Indian music charts in 1998, and he has won a Grammy Award.

The trio is known for several popular Hindi film songs, including ‘Mitwa’ from ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’, ‘Kajra Re’ from ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, and ‘Gallan Goodiyaan’ from ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’.

Ehsaan began as a freelance guitarist and became the first guitarist from India to be endorsed by Fender guitars.

Loy started his career by composing the signature tune for ‘The World This Week’ on Doordarshan and later worked with composers such as A. R. Rahman and Nadeem-Shravan. (IANS)
