**Artist Profile & Musical Experience**

I have been pursuing formal training and rigorous practice in **Classical Vocal Music under the rich tradition of the Banaras Gharana for the past six years**. Over the course of my musical journey, I have had the privilege of performing at various prestigious cultural and institutional platforms.

I have performed **twice at the Kashi Sansad Mahotsav** and have also had the opportunity to perform at **‘Kashi Vandan’ at Namo Ghat, Varanasi**, an event organised by the **Uttar Pradesh Cultural Department**. In addition, I had the honour of being the **winner of a musical event organised by the GST Department in Chandigarh**.

My journey in music is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of the Banaras Gharana. Through continuous learning, practice and performance, I aspire to contribute to the preservation and wider presentation of the Indian classical music tradition. For me, music is not merely an art form, but a lifelong journey of **sadhana, expression and cultural connection**.
