Pt. Uday Bhawalkar

Born in 1966, Uday Bhawalkar is a standard bearer for Dhrupad and a strong force in its growing recognition and popularity. Uday believes that in total immersion in note and raga the self disappears, and music takes on its own existence – the principle of `darshan`. These values help him on the path of devotion to Dhrupad.

Maintaining the majesty and subtle nuances of Dhrupad, Uday has developed a personal style deeply embedded in raga ras and bhaav, bringing a creative melodic touch within the precise intonation and pronunciation of the Dhrupad style. This application is just a humble effort to sup up all his work available on cloud and present it to his fans and students of Dhrupad.
