This gallery captures the moments that have shaped my path as a musician. From receiving my 'A' grade from All India Radio to sharing the stage with legends, these are the milestones that keep me inspired.

I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the “A” grade by All India Radio. This is a testament to the guidance of my Gurus and the support of my parents and well-wishers.

Sharing a frame with the God of music, Ustad Zakir Hussain, is a memory I will cherish forever. His blessings are the highest honor.

Celebrating the birthday of my Guruji, Pt. Kushal Das Ji. His blessings and guidance are the foundation of my musical life.

A moment of immense pride for all of us. I was ecstatic to hear the news that my Guruji, Pandit Kushal Das Ji, received the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi award.

I recently had the honor of adjudicating a talent hunt for the Shiv Nadar Foundation. It was astounding to witness the depth of hidden talent in India.

As a judge at the Shiv Nadar Foundation's "Got Talent" event, I was deeply impressed by the passion and skill of the performers.
