What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to an organization’s growth while finding opportunities for my own professional growth.

At Banaras Hindu University, I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s in performing arts, specializing in instrumental Tabla. I also completed a one-year Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan internship there.

During my internship, I accompanied master’s and bachelor’s students on Tabla and accompanied different styles of Hindustani vocal Sangeet.

I won first place in the Tabla solo competition at Shree Baba Harivallabh Sangeet Pratiyogita and at the State Level Yuva Mahotsav. I also received a ‘B High’ grade from All India Radio, Varanasi.

I’ve performed at Shree Baba Harivallabh Sangeet samahroh, Kashi Vandan, and Subh-e-Banaras, among other events. I’ve been learning Tabla in the Banaras gharana tradition from Pandit Kuber Nath Mishra.
