This performance is a special Tribute to the late Pandit Nikhil Ranjan Banerjee (14 October 1931 – 27 January 1986) who was an Indian classical sitarist of the Maihar Gharana. A student of the legendary Baba Allauddin Khan, Pandit Nikhil Banerjee was known for his technical virtuosity and clinical execution. Along with Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan, he emerged as one of the leading exponents of the sitar and a recipient of the Indian civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan. Dr Pandit Ranajit Sengupta has been highly inspired & influenced by the Music of Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and in this concert he performs Raga Marwa which is one of his favorite Ragas & was also a favourite of the Maestros Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. The Second raga he performs in this concert (Raga Hemlalit) is a Tribute to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee which is one of the 4 Ragas that Pandit Nikhil Banerjee composed and created himself.
