She received training during her formative years from Ustad Amir Khan, the doyen of Indore Gharana. He is considered one of the most influential figures in Classical Music. Amir Khan was born in a family of musicians in Indore, India to Shahmir Khan, a Sarangi and Veena player of the Bhendi Bazaar Gharana, served at the court of the Holkars of Indore. He was initially trained in the Sarangi by his father. However, seeing his interest in vocal music, his father gradually devoted more time to vocal training, focusing on the merukhand technique. Amir Khan was exposed at an early age to many different styles, since just about every musician who visited Indore would come to their house and there would be mehfils at their place on a regular basis. He also learned the basics of Tabla playing from one of his maternal uncles, who was a Tabla player.

---------- About Raag Bhairav -----------
Bhairav is known as the king of early morning raags. It creates a meditative atmosphere that is majestic and masculine in character.  If Bhairav were a divine person, he would be very serious and somber. This raag is a janak, or parent raag. It has produced many offspring raags, or prakaars (types) such as Ahir Bhairav, Aanand Bhairav, etc. Bhairav’s equivalent in Carnatic music is Raag Mayamalavagowla.

We enable classical music to give life to it. It is an effort to connect Indian culture reaching talent of every level. It has to be nurtured and promoted. That's our mission. 


Music is creation. It connects us with society and helps in bringing about a change. The result of RAAGGIRI is to develop and promote all forms of music; all areas of culture and tradition, by collaborating with government-public -private organizations. Our Focus is to establish connections with the weaker, underprivileged, scheduled castes, Dalits, minority, and physically and mentally disabled people through music, thus contributing to their progress, resettlement, and recreation. When our actions become habits, we don't need to repeatedly remind ourselves of them. Traditions are part of human nature. 


We all have rituals in life. But it isn't easy to always maintain these habits. Everyone has an aim in life but seldom do we walk the path that will take us to our ultimate destination and fulfill our purpose. And this becomes all the more challenging when our goal is to change the existing norms and bring about social changes to improve the current situation; when we choose the path of creation.
