Raag Nand is a derivative of the Kalyan thaat. It uses both teevra (sharp) and shudh (pure) Ma (4th) with rest of the notes being pure. Nand is also known as Anandi Kalyan. This raga was conceived in the earlier 20th century, some say by Mehboob Khan, who was the father-in-law of Faiyyaz Khan of the Agra gharana. I
Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee is one of the leading sitar players of India who has trained under his illustrious father, Late Pandit Bimalendu Mukherjee in the Imdadkhani gharana. Through the tonal clarity of his sitar, the depth of his alaap and the intricate taankari, Pandit Mukherjee has established time and again, his mastery over the instrument as well as his adherence to the strictly gayaki style (vocal music and its ornamentations) of the Imdadkhani gharana. He has a brilliant academic record – as a young student barely in his twenties, he secured a Gold Medal in Metallurgical Engineering. However, music had occupied the greater part of his heart; That Pandit Mukherjee had picked up the sitar instead of a job offer letter, is in itself an achievement of Indian classical music and the community as a whole

Nandy has trained in the Farrukhabad style under Pandit Pankaj Chatterjee and then under Pandit Arup Chattopadhyay in Kolkata, India. The Farrukhabad school of tabla, being one of the oldest and the most prominent gharanas in north Indian classical music, dates back to the 11th century.
