Akshat Awasthi: A Gold Medalist’s Gharana Voyage

Akshat Awasthi transforms the essence of Gwalior and Agra gharanas into something profoundly personal, making every performance an intimate, immersive journey.

Akshat Awasthi brings a raw, intimate connection to the traditions of the Gwalior and Agra gharanas, embodying not just their history but their evolution. His early successes—first prizes at Sangam Kala Group and Youth Festival—were not just victories, but revelations of his potential. Awarded a CCRT scholarship in 2021, Akshat’s path has always been shaped by something deeper than accolades. He studied under Guru Shri Mukul Kulkarni Ji in the Guru Shishya Parampara, where every note became a form of dialogue, not repetition. The Visharad degree he earned in 2014 is a testament, not to completion, but to his ongoing journey.

With the guidance of Guru Seema Bharadwaj and the support of his family, Akshat's performances are never static—they’re alive, pulling the audience into a shared moment. His music transcends technical mastery, becoming a living, breathing experience where tradition meets the present, raw, real, and undeniably his own.
