Nikhilda's music makes your soul breathe with love , yearning, joy & a certain melancholy all at the same time. No other sitar player has achieved this quality yet. ❤💐
Beautiful words Soumya Ji. Yes, a very wonderful gift on a very auspicious time for all. May the Celestial Beings bless all who connect with the divine through his eternal bhaav in his music.
This is beyond music, and there are few words to express what it is.. If this is how it sounds in a recording, what must it have been for the listeners present
Why people tell him Samrat ?? He is God of siter........ & his music is heavenly....... Swadeshe pujjote raja vidyan sorbottro pujjote ....... Uni sei vidyan jini sorbotro pujito hon.....
Rightly commented on a musician ,as a true sitarist, who was respected everywhere for his sincere and devoted performance of recital before the audience.
According to the tuner he is tuned Sa as D with the tuner set to about 432hz, given the audio quility could affect the pitch. Having said that would he tune Marwa, the open playing strings to G# D (somthing other than A a 5th) maybe B,then low sa D? Nikhil has not, you can clearly hear the Pa string is an A. But what about the chikari? G#? it sounds a bit dissonant but that note is in the scale? Or are the playing strings kept separate and only sympathetics are tuned according to raga? It is very hard to hear i find. Someone please help this little sitar player in New Zealand!
Good ear.. It does sound like he has tuned the Pancham string (3rd string) to Pa, and you can see by his playing Da (without meend) on the second fret that this is the case (see 11:40). You can hear the Pa slightly when he strums at certain points between 12:00-14:00. For Marwa, I tune my Pancham string to Tivra Ma and my 3rd chikari to Da, as taught by my teacher. Thanks for pointing this out! I did not know he tuned his Pancham string to Pa for this raga. All the best.
The person who decided it would be a good idea to record this is a genius

Miss you Nikhilda.
This is the sound of the heavens descending on earth.
Coming - as it is - like gentle rain on the auspicious Vijayadashami.
Thank you! 🙏

“A GRACE of The Infinite☝🏻 - To Have Heard Such a Wondrous Master of Sound…
This is Musical PRANA…”
Fantastic! Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for sharing for the love of music only, great respect in that !! Love from France
No one else played like them. I was never able to see why
IS it possible to get a clearer video? maybe use AI to scale it upto 4k.
Whenever listens to him, it's a heavenly experience. Can't describe in words.
Why people tell him Samrat ??
He is God of siter........
& his music is heavenly.......
Swadeshe pujjote raja vidyan sorbottro pujjote .......
Uni sei vidyan jini sorbotro pujito hon.....
Samrat in the relative world. God is an internal invisble connection. That God exists within you too. And it is easy to realise that.

On Facebook , there are 2 major groups of fans of Nikhil Banerjee. There you will find someone to help you and guide you. Best wishes.

@@jmmarino88 that was his default choice for most of the time. Pancham was set to A.

Excuse me, do you know where is the beginning of the hamsadhwani?
Watch for some tuning and regrouping at 2:09:30 and you'll hear the Hamsadhwani gat begin about 2:10:20 🙏
Where was the program held?
San Rafael California.
