Inaugural Concert by Sajan Misra and Swaransh Misra
Pt. Sajan Misra & Sh. Swaransh Misra
Padma Bhushan Pt. Sajan Misra takes the stage alongside Sh. Swaransh Misra for the Inaugural Concert.
A distinguished exponent of the Banaras Gharana, Pt. Sajan Misra is celebrated for his mastery of the khayal tradition, purity of raga, and deeply expressive vocal style. He was one half of the renowned Rajan–Sajan Mishra duo and has been honoured with the Padma Bhushan, Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Tansen Award, Omkarnath Thakur Award, Kashi Gaurav and Yash Bharti.
Carrying this rich musical legacy forward, Sh. Swaransh Misra is a vocalist, composer, songwriter and orator, and the sixth-generation representative of the Banaras Gharana. Trained under his father, he brings together the depth of Hindustani classical music with his own contemporary musical sensibility.
Together, the father-son duo brings generations of musical tradition to the opening night of Virasat 2026 - an evening of ragas, melody and the timeless spirit of Indian classical music.
