Ulhas Bapat was an esteemed Indian musician renowned for his mastery of the santoor, a type of hammered dulcimer traditional to the music of Kashmir and Persia. Throughout his illustrious career, he was known for his innovative techniques and for his ability to infuse classical Indian ragas with a distinctive expressive quality. Bapat's proficiency in both the theoretical and practical aspects of music allowed him to collaborate with a variety of acclaimed artists, contributing to the soundtracks of numerous films and participating in diverse musical projects that transcended genres.

Bapat's contribution to Indian classical music was substantial, often characterized by a blend of deep-rooted traditionalism and a gentle yet profound innovation within the santoor's playing style. Albums such as "Joy & Tranquility - Raga Gorakh Kauns" and "Emotions on Santoor - Raga Jaijaiwanti" showcased his exceptional ability to convey a vast spectrum of emotions through his instrument. His works such as "Purity 3" and "De-Stress: Rejuvenate" reflect the therapeutic nature of his music, making him a treasured artist not only among connoisseurs of classical music but also among those seeking solace and relaxation through listening to his serene compositions. Sadly, the music world bid farewell to Ulhas Bapat in early 2018, but his legacy continues to resonate through his recordings and the generations of musicians he influenced.
