Held at Triguna Sen Auditorium, Jadavpur University, on 28 December, the event was dedicated to celebrating the 90 years of inspiring life and legacy of Guru Pandit Samarendra Nath Sikdar, a luminary of the Bengal Shahjahanpur Gharana of Indian classical music and an ardent disciple of Sangeetacharya Pandit Radhika Mohan Maitra. The event created a magical environment where music lovers gathered to honour the artist who has inspired generations.
Sashruta had the privilege to felicitate Guru Sikdar with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018, recognising his saintly dedication to music. Guruji's firm commitment towards preserving the purity of raags and his one-of-akind style of playing the sarod reflects his simplicity, grace and profound dedication. He has also carried forward the great tradition of his Gharana by being an excellent teacher of instrumental music.
