Pt. Vinayak Rao Patwardhan | Bhajan

Feel the resonance of evening ragas... Pandit Vinayak Narayan Patwardhan was an Indian vocalist of Gwalior gharana of Indian classical music. Vinayakrao Patwardhan's singing reflected the simple and straightforward approach to ragas, which is the characteristic of the Gwalior Gharana style. His favorite ragas included ''Bahar'', ''Adana'', ''Multani'', ''Malhar'', ''Jaijaivanti'', ''Hameer'' and ''Bhairav-bahar''. He performed in most of the important music festivals. He was one of the few practicing musicians of the time who wrote textbooks on music.
