The visit to Hermann Hesse’s house in Montagnola, marking the 100th anniversary of Siddhartha, was a profound experience. The museum showcases Hesse’s life through personal artifacts and a serene atmosphere reflecting his spirit. This sacred place inspired us deeply, motivating Ashram to honor this centennial with our upcoming album Siddhartha2022.

Ashram, an Indian-Austrian fusion band, is reuniting to release their third album, Siddhartha2022, a tribute inspired by Hermann Hesse's timeless novel. The album explores themes of self-discovery and spirituality with songs in Sanskrit, Hindi, Malayalam, and English. Planned concerts in 2023 will honor Hesse's life work and connect his philosophical legacy to today's digital age.
