Legendary musician Annapurna Devi's life has been shrouded in
mystery. Daughter of the unparalleled Allauddin Khan of Maitra and
the first wife of Pandit Ravi Shankar, she conquered the summit of
Indian classical music, only to later renounce public life to spend
her entire life as a recluse in the confinement of her house. Until
the age of sixteen, Annapurna Devi was confined to her family home
at Maihar, where her father was a court musician and guru to the
maharaja. During this period, she devoted herself exclusively to
the deepest study and practice of Indian classical music under the
strict tutelage of her father. After her estrangement from her
husband Pandit Ravi Shankar, Annapurna Devi went ever deeper into
self-imposed seclusion. The only people whom she met and
communicated with were her disciples who used to visit her for
music lessons, which included some of the greatest musicians our
era has seen, including Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, Pandit Hariprasad
Chaurasia, Ustad Bahadur Khan, Aashish Khan, Dhyanesh Khan,
Nityanand Haldipur and Basant Kabra, to name a few. Full of
anecdotes and untold stories, this is her life story as told by her
to her disciples over a period of time, giving valuable insights
into their Guru Ma's personality, music and teachings.
