--------------------- Namrata Rai Gurus -------------------
LATE DR. MADHUKAR ANAND - Born in Patna on April 14, 1964. Late Dr. Madhukar Anand, son of Shri Balram Lal, an eminent Kathak dancer of the post war period. This was apparent when he intently observed his father conducting classes on Kathak with his students. Sensing his innate talent his father as his first Guru initiated him into the dance form in 1972.

PT. UDHAI MAZUMDAR - On the precincts of percussion and maxims of melody a name, it seems, has come to stay. A name which is now creating melodic and rhythmic raptures in uncounted musical concerts all over the globe is Udhai Mazumdar.
Udhai hails from a family of musicians and fine artistes of Allahabad. His father, the Late Partho Sarathy Mazumdar, is among the first-generation of guitarists in the field of Indian Classical music. A versatile tabla player of the Benares Gharana, and also a composer of great finesse, Udhai has over the years, consciously evolved into an evocative and expressive tabla player. This could also be attributed to his musicianship and sensitive approach both artistically and professionally.
