Pandit Sudhindra Bhaumik and Priya Purushothaman

Sneh Samvardhan Mandal is pleased to present an evening of Hindustani classical vocal music rooted in the Agra gharana tradition.

The first half features Priya Purushothaman, a vocalist trained in the Agra gharana under Vidushi Aditi Upadhya, Pandit Sudhindra Bhaumik, and gharana stalwart Pandit Dinkar Kaikini, with further grounding in thumri and dadra under Vidushi Shubha Joshi. Over two decades, she has emerged as a distinctive voice among the next generation of Hindustani vocalists, performing widely in India and abroad.

The second half brings her guru, Pandit Sudhindra Bhaumik, a distinguished torchbearer of the Agra gharana known for his commanding voice, expansive nom-tom alap, and masterful layakari, shaped by training under Pandit Ramarao V. Naik, Pandit S.C.R. Bhatt, Pandit K.G. Ginde, and Pandit Dinkar Kaikini. Together, guru and shishya trace a single musical lineage across the evening, offering a rare glimpse of the Agra gayaki passed from teacher to student. We look forward to seeing you there.
