A singing bowl, held and heard in Kathmandu.

A small studio for sound and craft.

In the heart of Thamel, Shriba is a place to meet Himalayan singing bowls up close. Explore hand-beaten Seven Metal Bowls, learn how to hold and play one, or settle in for a one-to-one sound session. We keep the experience personal, unhurried, and grounded in the craft.

A little time to learn, practice, and listen.

Guided by experience

Master Saroj Shakya

With over three decades of dedicated practice, Master Saroj Shakya is a master artisan and sound practitioner. Trained in the traditional metallurgy of hand-beaten Himalayan bowls, he has spent his life mastering their acoustics and therapeutic application.

He has shared the practice globally—leading therapist certification courses in Vietnam, masterclasses in Thailand, and main-stage sound healing at the Yoga Meditation Festival in Chongqing, China.

Today, he brings that lifetime of craft and teaching back home to the Shriba Singing Bowl Centre in Thamel.
