Bhimsen By Mandar Karanjkar Dakshyani Athalye

About the book This book is part of a series that introduces and presents personal histories of inspiring performing artists. It is an attempt to see the performers beyond their art - to explore what brought flavour to their life, what were the times they ived in, the people who were part of their journey and what mattered to them. This book is designed so that people of all ages and levels of exposure to traditional arts can enjoy it.

We are deeply grateful to Jayant Joshi, Shubhada Mulgund and Shrinivas Joshi, for generously sharing stories, notes, photographs, letters and the lively conversations which have added to the charm of this book. Special thanks to Yashoda Joshi for her initiative and support in the process of making this book.
