Srikrishna Haldankar (1927 – 17 November 2016), better known as Babanrao Haldankar, was an Indian classical singer, composer, and music teacher of Agra gharana of Hindustani classical music.[1]
Life and career
Babanrao Haldankar was the son of painter Sawlaram Haldankar (1882–1968), and has won awards through his career.[2] and was an Adjunct Professor of Indian Music at the University of Mumbai.[3][4]
Education
He had studied under Jaipur Gharana's doyenne Mogubai Kurdikar in 1950s but had a preference for Agra Gharana. Accordingly he switched to Ustad Khadim Hussain of Agra gharana, who settled in Mumbai from Jaipur, in 1959, and studied under him for 20 years.[5] Babanrao Haldankar himself was a much sought after guru, and he taught many of the prominent artists coming up towards the end of 20th Century, including Arun Kashalkar and Devaki Pandit.
