Musical artist

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.

Legacy

The 177-year-old tanpura used by Jadunath Bhattacharya is now preserved in the Kolkata Museum.

Memories

Rabindranath Tagore - 

 "The uniqueness of his songs is not found in any other Hindustani song. It is doubtful whether anyone else has been born in modern India with a musical flair like Jadu Bhatta."
