About
the Artists
Raghunandan Panshikar
(Hindustani Vocal)
Pandit Raghunandan Panshikar's music
reflects the quintessential style of the
Jaipur-Atrauli gharana - a full throated
akaar, dazzling tans and layakari, and a
refined use of meend and gamak. Shri.
Raghunandan Panshikar has developed a
unique treatment to classical singing. A
versatile artist, he also sings semi
classical forms like Bhajans, Thumris,
Gazals and Natya Sangeet with panache.
Recipient of several prestigious awards,
Shri. Raghunandan Panshikar made his mark
in performances throughout India as well
as in Europe, the United States and the
Middle east. He was born into a family of
Sanskrit scholars and classical musicians.
His aptitude for music was recognized and
fostered from an early age. He began his
formal study of music in Mumbai at the age
of eleven learning from the late Pandit
Vasantrao Kulkarni for two years. Later he
took training from the doyen of Jaipur
gharana, Kishori Amonkar starting from the
age of 17 for the next 20 years. During
this time, he had the rare opportunity to
learn from Kishori Tai’s mother, Gaan
Tapaswini Late. Smt. Mogubai Kurdikar, an
early disciple of the founder of
Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, Ustad Alladiya
Khan.

very young age. He started harmonium training at

student of the renowned harmonium soloist,
accompanist and musicologist Dr. Arawind Thatte.
