Humming a line from a Sant Tukaram piece, Krishnan elaborates on the special place a choir holds. "There is no fear when you sing together, as opposed to when you are performing solo, where your focus is on not making mistakes. It also improves your attention span and hones your listening skills."

The basis for the collaboration between the museum and the project was the fact that music is a close companion to visual art. "It is one of the many things that make us sensitive to world around us. It is also an avenue through which you are able to enter a child's mind and influence them," museum director Ashvin Rajagopalan says, adding that the event is an imperative intervention in times when children are going to school from 9 to 5 and are crammed with information. Krishnan concurs with Rajagopalan, giving an example of Nirguni bhajan. "It's a combination of folk and Indian classical and has powerful lyrics. This approach makes children naturally curious. And today, we need children to ask questions. Because they are the only ones who are genuinely curious."
