Kaveri Music Foundation

Kaveri Music Foundation is located on the ground floor of Giri Kunj, which is Plot 318, 7A on Sir Bhalchandra Road. We are right by Nappu Garden in Matunga. It’s a very traditional part of Mumbai, and you can always smell the food from the nearby cafes. Our space is on the ground floor, which makes it easy to move instruments in and out, though the Mumbai dampness is something we have to watch out for. The building, Giri Kunj, has been around for a while and has that old-school character you don't see much anymore. Inside, it’s usually a mix of different sounds. We have instruments leaning against the walls and music stands scattered around the main room. It’s not a soundproof studio; you can hear the buses going by on Sir Bhalchandra Road and the kids playing in Nappu Garden. We like it that way because it feels connected to the neighborhood. The floor is a bit uneven in places and the paint is peeling a little near the ceiling, but it’s a comfortable place to spend the day. We don't have a receptionist or a big waiting area. People just come in and find a chair. It’s a very simple, honest kind of place. We spend a lot of time just organizing the foundation’s work and making sure the instruments are in good shape for whoever needs them next.
