Sadanand Naimpalli

<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Born in a family of music-lovers, Sadanand Naimpalli was motivated to take up some form of musical expression. Gifted as he was, with an uncanny sense of rhythm, it was only natural that he should take up to a percussion instrument viz: "Tabla." He found an ideal perceptor in Pandit Taranathji who lent free rein to the young boy's inherent capabilities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It was not long before Sadanand blossomed into an accomplished Tabla player and was rightly hailed as a "Child Prodigy." He won thePresident's award for standing first at the All India Radio Competitions held on a National scale in 1963, when barely sixteen years old. Sadanand not only won fresh laurels at various music competitions but also began participating in various music conferences alongside-recognised stalwarts.</span></p>
