Enchantment explores the four stages in the sitar maestro’s life: as a young boy in Paris, acclaimed as a dancer in his brother’s troupe; the disciple undergoing relentless training in music in a remote Indian town; as an artist struggling to establish a career; and the global icon putting Indian music on the world map.
