Arvind Parikh

Arvind Parikh (1922–2018) was a legendary sitar maestro and a cherished figure in Hindustani classical music. A devoted disciple of the iconic Vilayat Khan, Parikh spent decades mastering the intricacies of the *beenkar* style, blending technical precision with soulful expression. Beyond his performances, he became a respected educator and scholar, co-founding Mumbai's Sangit Mahabharati to nurture future generations of musicians. His recordings, like the *Classic Compositions* and *Bandish Parampara* series, showcase his dedication to preserving traditional ragas and compositions, while live albums such as *Devotion At Dawn* capture the spiritual intensity of his improvisations. Parikh’s warmth and humility made him a beloved mentor, and his legacy lives on through his students and timeless recordings that bridge classical rigor with emotional depth.
