Himangshu Biswas

Himangshu Biswas (1927–date unknown) was an Indian classical musician renowned for his flute playing, with a career anchored in the mid-20th century. A student of classical vocalist Chinmoy Lahiri, Biswas gained recognition for his versatility and collaborations, including jugalbandi (duet) performances with santoor player Dulal Roy, which blended flute with instruments like jaltarang (water pitchers) to create bright, accessible interpretations of ragas. His discography spans classical albums (such as his 1968 release on His Master’s Voice) and film soundtracks (e.g., *Upekheeta* and *Madhuganjer Sumati*), reflecting his work in both traditional and cinematic realms. While details about his later life remain scarce, his recordings remain celebrated examples of post-independence Indian classical innovation.

**Note:** The listed soundtrack *Saswati* was not directly confirmed in available sources, but Biswas’ film music contributions are verified. His Apple Music presence includes reissues like *Universal Masters Collection* and *Raga: Maru Bihag*, underscoring his enduring legacy.
