Imagine Eric Clapton's 'Layla,' one of rock music's definitive love songs, with an Indian twist. There would be Indian instruments - ghoongroo, sitar, tabla - and it would probably be sung in Hindi.

Here's the good news. You don't have to imagine, it has happened. And the lyrics are in Sanskrit.

Over the last one week, music lovers have been sharing Krish Ashok's Indianised version of 'Layla', called 'Leela' on various social media sites.

For this song, Ashok's collaborators are SP Suresh and Vaishnavi Sundararajan, who wrote the Sanskrit lyrics along with him.
