Pandit Niladri Kumar is a renowned Indian sitar maestro from the Etawah Gharana, celebrated for his extraordinary blend of classical and contemporary fusion music. A child prodigy, he began his sitar training under his father, Kartick Kumar, and gave his first public performance at the age of six.
Known for his technical mastery and innovative spirit, he revolutionized the sitar by inventing the "Zitar," an instrument that fuses traditional sitar tones with the electric energy of a guitar. Niladri Kumar's music is deeply rooted in spirituality, seeking to bridge the divine and the earthly, and he has worked with legendary musicians like Zakir Hussain and A.R. Rahman. His contributions have earned him prestigious awards, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi's Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar.
