- The band has not looked back since, wowing the audience with their spectacular Indian folk inspired stage show, their sound and their singing in mix of languages including Hindi, Kannada and English (en)
- It’s raucous, it’s fun, and even with the obvious language gap, songs like "Yeshu, Allah aur Krishna" are blindingly infectious... only terminal depression could make you ignore the sheer good vibes emanating from Swarathma. (en)
