Euphoria (Hindi: युफ़ोरिया), is an Indian rock band from the city of Delhi, India.

Their unique
style has helped them gain an audience, seen as alternative to the dominant Indian film or
classical music.[citation needed] Euphoria were among the first to bring rock culture to India. They
mixed electric guitar with traditional instruments like the tabla, dholak and sitar to create
mesmerising effects. The band lineup has often changed through the early 1990s, attaining
stability after 1998, until recently, when guitarist Gaurav Misra (also known as Gary) parted
ways with the band. It has been reported in the media, that Gary went off to settle in Australia.
But nothing has diminished its appeal over their fans (also known as Dhoomers). Recently, they
inducted female members Vaishali Barua and Krutika Muralidharan as backup vocalists.

Euphoria has come a long way since first taking the stage in 1989. With its music set to Hindi and Urdu
lyrics, this premium, six-member "Hindrock" band has been giving Indian music lovers a pulsating mix of
rock, rock and roll and retro rock. Their first album Dhoom in 1998, with its chart-topping numbers Dhoom,
Tum and Sha-na-na, sold thousands of copies all over India. They have succeeded in "making waves" on
the festival circuits and are enjoying the growing patronage of Indian listeners.
On May 17, 2000, Euphoria became the first Indian band to participate in the prestigious annual Beale
Street Music Festival held in Memphis, Tennessee. Every year, this festival features a country, and after
carrying out a survey of the rock scene in India, they selected Euphoria. The band believes that it is the
melody of their music that impressed American audiences. "The adulation we got goes to show that any
song which is melodious can easily catch the pulse of the audience," said Palash Sen, better known as
"Polly", Euphoria's lead vocalist. Euphoria's latest one-song album release is Mantra, and it revolves
around the eternal theme of love.
Current members of the band include: Christopher Powell (Chris) on the drums; medical doctor Palash
Sen - vocals; Debajyoti Bhaduri (DJ) - bass; Gaurav Misra (Gary) - guitar; Hitesh Madan (Rikki) - guitar;
and Benjamin Pinto - keyboard.
