She was named a Cultural Ambassador for Ayodhya by the government. Her renditions of Ram Bhajans (devotional songs for Rama) have garnered millions of views, reconnecting the youth with traditional spirituality. She frequently performs at the ghats of Ayodhya.
Her style is accessible yet rooted in 'Raag' (melodic framework), proving that traditional music can thrive in the digital age.
