This page is dedicated to a legendary figure in India - the late Pandit Kumar Gandharva, singer and intellectual of Indian Classical Music. He was the person whom I have admired the most in my life.

His contribution to Indian music and hence to the lives of all those who knew or heard him, is difficult to encapsulate in a humble Home Page. Still, this is being offered in the hope that more people will get to know about this great person and the legacy of musical recordings and memories that he left behind for us.
