India's musical brilliance once again took centre stage at the 68th Grammy Awards, with multiple nominations across global music categories.
Sitarist Anoushka Shankar earned two nominations this year, including Best Global Music Album for ‘Chapter III: We Return to Light’, featuring Alam Khan and Sarathy Korwar. The trio was also nominated for Best Global Music Performance for ‘Daybreak’.
Reacting to her nominations, Anoushka on Instagram wrote, "Today is a day of contrasts - a horrific migraine AND news of my 12th and 13th Grammy nominations all in one afternoon. I'm beyond grateful, from my horizontal position in this darkened room, to have Chapter III: We Return to Light nominated for Best Global Album and 'Daybreak' up for Best Global Music Performance. To be nominated alongside the incredible @alamsarode and @sarathykorwar, with whom I made this music, makes it all the sweeter."

The winners of the 2026 Grammys will be revealed on February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. CBS will air the award show and stream it live on Paramount+.
