Anoushka, 34, was nominated in the Best World Music Album category for her solo album 'Home', a pure Indian classical album. A tribute to her late father Ravi Shankar, the song featured two ragas.
Anoushka, who was nominated in the category for the fifth time, lost it out to Angelique Kidjo for "Sings".
The Indian sitarist appeared in great spirits as she took to present at the Grammy stage in a blue Manish Arora dress.
"And I didn't even say anyone's names wrong! Such an honour to be part of this. Me and my bestie enjoying our third #grammys together," she tweeted with pictures from the stage and ceremony.
