New Delhi, October 7, 2026: Lenskart has launched Shunya, a new eyewear collection inspired by Indian music, as part of its Indian Accents family of collections celebrating Indian culture and heritage. The Shunya collection, comprising 37 styles of eyeglasses and sunglasses, is now available across Lenskart stores and on the Lenskart app ahead of the festive season.
The launch is being marked by Lenskart Live: Sounds of Shunya, a five-day series of live music performances featuring 10 artists, which will stream exclusively on the Lenskart app from October 8 to 12 between 7 pm and 8 pm each evening.
Music-inspired design elements
Shunya draws on the rhythms, instruments, and cultural vocabulary of Indian music, with design details inspired by the sitar, flute, and lotus. The collection interprets elements from bhajans, classical, and Carnatic traditions into contemporary eyewear silhouettes.
The concept of Shunya, meaning zero, is rooted in Indian thought as the meditative space from which sound and creation emerge, according to Lenskart.
Lenskart Live: Sounds of Shunya
The Lenskart Live: Sounds of Shunya event features performances by Backstage Siblings, Prachi and Raghav Agarwal—pioneers of “bhajan jamming” who have performed over 300 shows in more than 50 cities since 2024. Other vocalists include Arunita Kanjilal, Iham Kavyam Experience by Kavya Ajit, Anushka Gouttam, and Vishwajeet Borwankar, covering classical, Carnatic, acoustic, Sufi, ghazal, and contemporary genres.
Instrumentalists in the line-up are Mahesh Raghvan and Shravan Sridhar, who blend Carnatic music with electronic production and electric violin, as well as Nandini Shankar on violin, Swayam on sitar, Varsh Jain on flute, and Ved Prajapati on tabla.
Indian Accents and new launches
Shunya is part of Lenskart’s Indian Accents collection, which explores Indian culture and heritage through eyewear design. Alongside Shunya, Lenskart is also introducing Indus, a collection inspired by India’s ancient art of metal craftsmanship.
“Indian music has an incredible ability to evolve while staying connected to its roots. We see that today in the way a new generation is experiencing everything from bhajans and classical music to contemporary interpretations of traditional sounds. Shunya draws from that same spirit, translating elements of Indian music into contemporary eyewear. With Lenskart Live, we want to take the stories behind our collections beyond the frames and create experiences that people can participate in and enjoy,” said a Lenskart spokesperson.
