Euphoria (Hindi: युफोरिया), 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 have even inducted female members into the band, although they are backup vocalists.
