Chants of Rajasthan
I love Indian folk music. I love techno. I generally love a lot out there in the music world.
Been a while since I shared good music with you guys - have a go at this. It's one of the best fusion renditions I've heard in a while.

Swastika - Let good prevail
This picture was captured recently during the festive Diwali period.
The word Swastika is normally believed to be an amalgam of the words Su and Asati. Su means 'good' and Asati meant 'to exist'.
As per Sanskrit grammer the words 'Su' and 'Asati' when amalgamated into one word become Swasti (as in the case of 'Su' and 'Aaatam' becoming Swagatam meaning welcome). If this derivation of the word Swastika is true, then the literal meaning of the term Swastika would be 'let good-prevail'.
It is also known as "Saathiyo" or "Saathiya" in the state of Gujarat, India.
