Genres & Forms

Where the Voice Lives

Each of these has been performed on stage hundreds of times — not as a listed skill, but as a practised craft.

Bengali Modern & Adhunik

Golden era to contemporary

Classics of the golden era of Bengali music alongside her own contemporary releases — sung with attention to diction, mood and the storytelling that makes Bengali songwriting distinctive.

Devotional & Shyama Sangeet

Bhajan, kirtan, Shyama Sangeet

Devotional repertoire for pujas, temple programmes, Kali Puja and Durga Puja evenings — performed with the restraint and feeling that this form demands.

Hindi Film & Bollywood

Playback and stage renditions

A broad Hindi film repertoire spanning the classic playback era through to modern soundtracks, including tribute renditions of Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.

Indian Classical

Khayal, thumri, semi-classical

Trained from the age of three in Hindustani classical technique — the foundation beneath every other form she performs.

Wedding & Ceremonial Music

Sangeet, gaye holud, reception

Song selections built for each ceremony of a Bengali or North Indian wedding, from the gaye holud morning to the reception evening.

Music Teaching & Mentoring

Vocal training, guidance

Structured vocal training for serious learners, several of whom now record and perform professionally. Group and one-to-one formats, online and in person.

Languages

Bengali, Hindi & Beyond

Programmes are built in Bengali and Hindi as a matter of course, with Sanskrit shlokas and Rajasthani or Bhojpuri folk added when the occasion calls for them. For mixed audiences the running order is planned so that no section of the room is left out for long.

  • Bengali — modern, devotional, Shyama Sangeet, Agomoni, golden era
  • Hindi — film playback, ghazal-influenced light classical, bhajan
  • Sanskrit — shlokas and stotras for ceremonial openings
  • Regional folk — on request, rehearsed in advance
