Biography
Dr. Dhananjay Daithankar is a renowned Santoor artist. At the age of 10, he started learning tabla from Pt. G.L. Samant in Pune, India which provided him strong foundation of taal and rhythm. While studying Ayurved medicine the scintillating sound of Santoor attracted him. In 1977, he started taking initial lessons from Pt. Ratanlal Tikkoo (Disciple of Pt Shivkumar Sharma) and since 1981 he has been under the tutelage of Padmavibhushan Pt. Shivkumar Shama. Dr. Dhananjay has performed on prestigious platforms throughout the world including Sawai Gandharva Festival, NCPA, Goa Kala Academy, Tansen Sangeet Samaroh and has toured US, Europe, and Middle East.
