Discovering a Bharat Ratna - Pandit Bhimsen Joshi - a presentation by Dr Nagaraja Rao Havaldar

Dr. Havaldar has spent years researching, documenting and collecting the stories of the man behind the maestro. Who was Pandit Bhimsen Joshi before he became a Bharat Ratna? What drove this young boy from North Karnataka to run away from home in search of music? What happened behind the concert stage, away from the applause and the headlines? What were his quirks, his friendships, his struggles, his moments of mischief, his extraordinary discipline — and the little things that made him simply Bhimsen? Taking us behind that curtain, is Dr Nagaraj Rao Havaldar, supported by Omkarnath Havaldar (Vocal), Kedar Havaldar, (Tabla) Sameer Havaldar (Harmonium) , Samarth Sattvik (Tanpura) , Janani Kulkarni (Laptop support) and Sakshi Sattvik (Book counter).
