The Governor of Maharashtra Bhagat Singh Koshyari has expressed condolences on the demise of the doyen of Hindustani Classical music Padma Vibhushan Pt. Jasraj. In a message, Governor Koshyari said:
“Pt Jasraj was a ‘Yug Purush’ in Hindustani Classical Music. While taking Hindustani classical music to dizzying heights, he made special efforts to bring it closer to the common man. He was very open to accepting new streams and innovative ideas in music. Pt Jasraj taught several students, many of whom have become established artists themselves. His music is divine and will remain eternal. With his demise, a melodious era has come to an end. I convey my heartfelt condolences to his numerous admirers and members of the bereaved family in this moment of grief.
