Noor Chahal shines as the voice of a generation with ‘Girl With A Guitar' live at The Piano Man in Delhi
After making waves with an intimate launch in London, Girl With A Guitar has made a powerful debut in India at The Piano Man, Eldeco Centre, Delhi, with singer-songwriter Noor Chahal taking centre stage. The rising star captivated the packed house with nothing more than her voice, her guitar, and a heart wide open, delivering a performance that was as soulful as it was spellbinding.
In a time when the music industry is saturated with over-production, Girl With A Guitar brings something rare: a stage where honesty sings louder than autotune, and where vulnerability becomes art. Noor Chahal delivered a live performance that was equal parts raw, rooted, and revolutionary, proving not just her musical prowess but her power to move a generation.
Opening the night with folk classics like 'Bajre Da Sitta' and 'Masakali', Noor instantly created an intimate, spiritual space that was rooted in Punjab and accessible to every heart in the room. With each transition—from 'Raavi' to 'Phir Le Aaya Dil', from 'Akh Kashni' to 'Sanson Ki Mala'—she transported the audience across moods and memories. The evening wasn't just a concert; it was a musical journey through longing, joy, rebellion, devotion, and womanhood. Her original tracks—'Away,' 'Malang,' and 'Channa Surma'—echoed with depth and maturity far beyond her years. They weren't just songs—they were confessions of spirit, longing, and identity.
The evening marked more than just a concert; it was the Indian premiere of a new-age musical movement. Girl With A Guitar is a passion project co-conceptualised by Noor Chahal and RTIST 91, aimed at spotlighting emotionally rich, culturally rooted, and powerfully honest female voices in music.
'What began as a shared idea—just a girl, her guitar, and a room full of honest hearts—has now grown into something far bigger,' said the team behind the project. And it showed.
Following the rousing response in Delhi, the Girl With A Guitar tour is now set to travel across cities, carrying forward its vision of creating space for storytelling, identity, and soul through song.

Noor-e-Taj: A dazzling light and storytelling show that brings the Taj Mahal to life
When the sun sets in Agra, and the crowds begin to thin around the marble marvel, another spectacle begins to unfold — one that doesn't take place on the Yamuna's banks but inside a quiet performance space. It's called Noor-e-Taj, a unique cultural showcase that breathes life into the timeless story of the Taj Mahal using lights, narration, and immersive New Way to See the TajFor most visitors, a trip to the Taj Mahal is a morning affair — a quiet walk through the gardens, the glint of white marble under a rising sun, and maybe a photo or two at the iconic bench. But Noor-e-Taj offers something different: a way to experience the emotion, politics, architecture, and love that shaped this wonder — all without stepping outside. The Noor-e-Taj is a multimedia storytelling event that delves into the rich history, legends, and architectural marvels of the Taj Mahal. Hosted by knowledgeable presenters like Mr. Subrata Bhattacharya, the show combines engaging narration, visual projections, and live demonstrations to bring the monument's story to Magic of LightAt the heart of Noor-e-Taj is light design — used not just to illuminate, but to evoke emotion and context. As the story unfolds, soft golden hues mimic the glow of ancient torches in the Mughal court; cool blues wash over the stage as the Yamuna flows through the narration. When Shah Jahan mourns Mumtaz, the entire room seems to dim, casting a solemn aura over the placed spotlights, backlit silhouettes, and layered projections simulate the construction of the Taj, showing its layers rising like a vision from the dust. The transitions between scenes are seamless, with lighting pulling the audience from one century to the not a grand musical. There are no elaborate dance numbers or theatrical gimmicks. The show relies on minimalism and mastery of visual storytelling — drawing you in with gentle narration, arresting images, and shifts in ambience that quietly overwhelm the That Goes Beyond FactsOne of the strongest aspects of Noor-e-Taj is its ability to humanize history. The narration — often delivered live by a skilled orator — is both informative and poetic, peppered with anecdotes and legends.

It's more like a fireside tale — one that draws children and adults alike into a world of royal courts, imperial dreams, and eternal love.A Complement, Not a ReplacementThe show isn't a substitute for seeing the Taj Mahal. It's a complement — an emotional and intellectual companion to your visit.
