Guru-Shishya Parampara is an age-old tradition in India which has existed for centuries and has transformed over the years. The tradition reinstates a sense of belongingness towards one teacher and worshipping the Guru as God. It also meant spending the entire duration of education at the abode of the Guru until the student attains perfection at the art or skill he is learning.
At SwarDarbar we focus on maintaining the tradition of Guru-Shishya Parampara. Even in difficult times, the students received Taalim and Life lessons from their Gurus and it is a co-creation always.
Music can change everything . Learn the beautiful art of Indian singing with our Guru Sri Sandip Bhattacharjee in one-on-one / group lessons. Lessons are scheduled according to mutual convenience.
