Jadunath Bhattacharya (also known as Jadu Bhatta) (1840 – 4 April 1883) was an Indian musician and composer of the 19th century Indian classical music, mainly of the Bishnupur gharana. In fact, he was, in the words of the poet, " a master of the hand of God". He enriched the music of the Bishnupur gharana with his own uniqueness and spread the taste of its beauty and flavor to different parts of the country, increasing his own unparalleled fame and the glory of Bengal.
Jadu Bhatta influence on Rabindranath Tagore and Bankim
A mid-19th century tanpura that Dhrupad legend Jadu Bhatta used to play while giving lessons to icons like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Rabindranath Tagore.
| Rabindra Sangeet | Source - Original song by Jadu Bhatta | Raga, rhythm |
|---|---|---|
| 1) Return empty-handed, Nath. | Rum Jhum Barkhe is still badarba | Coffee, Surphankatal |
| 2) The spring breeze is blowing today. | Azu Bhat Suganga Pawan | Bahar, Teora |
| 3) Today, Mom wants it. | The flowers are abundant, the spring is coming. | Bahar, Chautal |
| 4) Victory is a strange joy | Joy Prabhu Begvati Sureshwari | Brindavani Sarong, Teora |
Bankim Chandra also became a musical disciple of Jadu Bhatta. He used to visit Bankim Chandra's house in Bhatpara, Naihati. He was the first composer of the "national anthem of Bengal" Vande Mataram. He first composed the song in the Kafi raga on the trital.
Legacy

Books
The Bengali and Hindi songs he composed have been published in the book "Sangita Manjari" and the introduction of some songs in the book "Bishnupur" written by Ramaprasanna Bandyopadhyay.
