The legendary vocalist Pt Kumar Gandharva had a long and fond association with the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi, spanning over 50 years. He was very close to the Vidyalaya’s founder, Pt Vinaya Chandra Maudgalya and his family. The present Principal of the Vidyalaya, Shri Madhup Mudgal, is Kumar Ji’s senior disciple.
Over the years, Kumar ji presented many memorable concerts for the Vidyalaya, including specially curated programmes like Geet Varsha and Rituraj Mehfil. The Vidyalaya celebrated 60 years of his remarkable life at the Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi, in 1984, for which occasion this audio visual was created.
