Reminiscing the world of Ragas ft. Ashwini Bhide Deshpande | Baithak 23-24

An unforgettable musical evening with Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, a true icon of Hindustani classical music.
The performance showcased the unmatched charisma and vocal prowess that have defined her illustrious career.


Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, a renowned Hindustani vocalist of the famed Jaipur-Atrauli Khayal Gayaki tradition, is a name that resonates with many. Born in a musical lineage, she completed “Sangeet Visharad” of the “Gandharva Mahavidyalaya” at the young age of 16 and won the President’s Gold Medal at the All India Radio Music Competition in 1977.


Her musicianship is characterized by a blend of tonal sweetness coupled with vitality and emotion and raga structure-architecture. Her raga delineation shows an unerring grasp over the grammar of the raga yet maintaining a soulfulness in her singing. Through this, she has succeeded in building up her own loyal audience. She yearns to explore the pathos of rare and complex (“achchop”) ragas characteristic of her Gharana.


From timeless classics to soulful ragas, she took us on a nostalgic journey that transcended generations. Accompanied by a team of skillful musicians and surrounded by a captivated audience, this concert was a celebration of music, rigor, and elegance that admirers have cherished for decades.
