Raga intelligence
Select a raga and Sādhanā instantly configures the correct tuning, reveals its time, mood, and scale — then plays the corresponding Tanpura drone in perfect just intonation.
Sādhanā
The drone that knows the raga.
A precision Tanpura accompanist that understands Indian classical music — not just plays a frequency. Built for riyaz, built for the stage.
Coming to Android · Free

What Sādhanā does
Accompaniment that understands the music
Four systems working together so you can focus on the raga, not the settings.
Microtonal precision
Real-time DSP calculates exact Shrutis and Just Intonation ratios for each raga. The result is a living drone with the harmonic richness of a physical Tanpura, not a sampled loop.
Zero-drift audio engine
Phase-locked background audio that never stutters, never drifts, never misses a beat across a two-hour riyaz session. Interruptions are handled gracefully and automatically.
Studio-grade interface
A precision rotary dial, immersive micro-animations, and glassmorphic surfaces. The interface feels like the instrument it controls.
Raga library
The raga shapes the drone
Each raga configures its own tuning, time of day, mood and Shruti map. Sādhanā knows the difference.
