My Story
Namaskar! I’m Vijay. Every new class or baithak starts with a prayer to Saraswati Maa, always. My journey’s been guided by my gurus, especially playing for my dada guru Pandit Arvind Parikh ji—can’t forget that. This guru-shishya parampara, it’s everything to me. My students? They’re family. Little Sharannya, senior Prateeksha, even my son Ravi, and my bro Puttaraj on tabla. Our Alaap Sangeet Sabha, Grand Sitar Symphony—it’s not just music, it’s magic, whether for weddings, concerts, or healing.
