Pandit Chhannulal Mishra

7 September

Though he was born in Hariharpur, vocalist Chhannulal Mishra’s name is today synonymous with Varanasi.

This background shows up in his oeuvre as he sticks to the Benaras tradition while singing lighter forms such as ‘thumris’, ‘kajris’, ‘chaitis’, ‘dadras’ and bhajans. But in ‘khayal’, he lets go of any partiality. His performance is part of the Virasat 2007 festival. 6.30pm. Indian Institute of Technology, Seminar Hall, Hauz Khas. Free.
