My favorite vocalist is Padma Shri Prof. B.R. Deodhar, a revered alumnus of Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal. He innovatively merged Indian Classical and Western music education during his tenure at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, pioneering a groundbreaking approach. His timeless contributions continue to inspire and resonate with generations of musicians, leaving an indelible mark on the world of music.
