The Shriba's
Our History
1990s
Founder Saroj Shakya's vision to preserve the craft of hand-beaten singing bowls began as a lifelong mission in Kathmandu.
A singing bowl, held and heard in Kathmandu.
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
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.
