Maaya is the song performed by Indian Ocean, which is one of the rare rock bands in India that are still creating music and performing live at multiple festivals all over the country. Maay is the song that takes you on an intimate journey through the tight lanes of Delhi, the capital of India. The band was formed in India in 1990, and this particular song was written and produced for The Dewarists, a musical television series that was released on MTV India.
The Dewarists is a music documentary and travelog; the show casts musicians from different parts of India and even the world to create original music while traveling across India. The third episode of The Dewarists season 1 had the song Maaya performed by The Indian Ocean, the band which is formed by Susmit Sen, Asheem Chakravarty, Rahul Ram, and Amit Kilam. This was the lineup for almost two decades before the untimely death of Chakravarty on 25th December 2009. After that, Tusheen Chakravorty and Himanshu Joshi were officially inducted into the band as the successor.
In Maaya, in the song "Maaya," the band Indian Ocean joined hands with Mohit Chauhan for the composition. Mohit himself is a well known musician and singer who has given his voice to tons of songs in Bollywood. Mohit Chauhan hails from Nahan, which is a small town in Himachal Pradesh of India.
