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.
