Vocalist Chhannulal Mishra was pride of Banaras gharana

A pride of the Banaras gharana, Mishra was not only a master of Khayal style singing but also took the eastern thumri and ‘Purab Ang’ style to new heights. Born on Aug 3, 1936, in Hariharpur village of Azamgarh, Mishra received his initial education in music from his father, Badri Prasad Mishra.
 He learned the intricacies of classical music from Ustad Abdul Gani Khan of Kirana gharana. Mishra received many awards and honours for his contributions in the field of music, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi award in 2000, Padma Bhushan in 2010 and Padma Vibhushan in 2020.

Varanasi : Pandit Chhannulal Mishra passed away at the Mirzapur home of his daughter Namrata Mishra following a prolonged illness on Thursday morning. He was 89.
