Youngest Tabla Performer as per Guinness Book of World Records and awarded Rashtriya Bal Puraskar by President of India!
For the past five years, I have had the profound privilege of learning under Pandit Nayan Ghosh, one of India’s most celebrated maestros of the Farukhabad gharana. A rare virtuoso of both tabla and sitar, Panditji embodies the depth, discipline, and spiritual essence of Indian classical music.
Learning from him has been more than just mastering rhythm — it has been an immersion into tradition, patience, and the true meaning of ‘sadhana’. His guidance has shaped not only my playing but also my understanding of music as a living, breathing art form.
Being under his tutelage is an honor, and through his teachings, I strive to carry forward the legacy of this timeless tradition.
