Indian rock emerged in the 1960s within hubs like Mumbai and Kolkata, initially mirroring the global Beat movement before evolving into a distinct fusion of Western and Eastern traditions. Typical instrumentation centers on the electric guitar, bass, and drums, frequently augmented by classical Indian elements like the sitar or tabla to enrich melodic and rhythmic textures.
