Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande, custodian of the Hindustani classical lineage, paints her musical canvas with melodies that transcend time.
Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande, an illustrious maestro born on October 7, 1960, is the living heartbeat of Hindustani classical music. Resonating from Mumbai, she doesn't merely sing ragas; she conjures symphonies that echo through the corridors of time.
A luminary of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, she is a custodian of tradition and an enchantress who turns notes into ethereal experiences. Her voice, a celestial force, traverses octaves, enchanting the very soul of her listeners. Lauded by the venerable Late Pandit Ravi Shankar, she isn't just a vocalist; she's a saga, an opus of musical genius.
Beyond the realms of academia, her melodies weave tales of centuries past, making her a living legend, a virtuoso whose every performance is a testament to the enduring spirit of Indian classical music.
