Aiming to change your thoughts from negative to positive, the cafe gives patrons a headset to listen to 25-minute long musical piece along with a complimentary beverage called Asavari (a raaga), which is made of herbs to relax your mind and soul.

In the cafe, patrons are given a chance to choose a variety of musical pieces for ‘Relaxing’, ‘Anger Control’, ‘Positivity’, Confidence Booster’, ‘Concentration Booster’, and ‘Women’s Wellness’.

The innovative project is the brainchild of a certified music therapist Santosh Ghatpande, Hindustani classical vocalist Sawani Ghatpande and music enthusiast Anand Kolharkar. The trio has been working in the field of music therapy for the last five years. After witnessing the positive effects of music on people’s health, they decided to create a place where music therapy is used to relax people in stress.
