Renowned singer, songwriter, and classical dancer Raja Kumari is set to release her latest album, Kashi to Kailash, a deeply personal and spiritual project inspired by Lord Shiva. Timed with Maha Shivratri, the album reflects her journey of faith, devotion, and transformation.

Raja Kumari Album: Inspired by Kedarnath & Spirituality

“This album is something that I was called to make,” Raja Kumari shares. “Certain events in my life, like the cancellation of my tour two years ago, led me towards spirituality. After that, I kept getting visions of Kedarnath Temple, so I didn’t waste time and visited the shrine. As I stood before Lord Shiva, I asked what I should do next, and the answer was clear—surrender. Since then, I knew this was the first project I had to create.”

Raja Kumari’s 'The Destroyer' Honors Shiv Tandav Roots

Her classical roots play a significant role in the album, especially in The Destroyer. “Shiv Tandav has always been a dance I loved as a child. Dressing as Shiva, enacting destruction and creation—it’s always been a part of me. I incorporated the jati from my childhood compositions to honor my years of training.” She also ensured proper pronunciation of Sanskrit verses, believing that “there’s a different energy when you speak the words correctly.”

Raja Kumari on Maha Shivratri, Shiva-Parvati & Meditation

For Raja Kumari, Maha Shivratri is now deeply personal. “I spend the night in meditation, receiving the high-frequency energies of this sacred time. As a hopeless romantic, I’m also inspired by Shiva and Parvati’s love story, which led me to observe the Sola Somvaar Vrat.”

With Kashi to Kailash, Raja Kumari hopes to bring devotional music into modern times. “I want this album to be a part of people’s celebrations.”
