Three generations of
a single tradition
A devotion to Hindustani classical music passed from grandfather to family to Mrunal — held in trust, and given forward.
Sangeet Bhushan
Pandit Ram Marathe
पंडित राम मराठे
Mrunal’s grandfather, Sangeet Bhushan Pandit Ram Marathe, was one of India’s most revered vocalists. His command of khayal and Marathi Natya Sangeet set the standard the family has carried ever since.
From childhood, Mrunal received her rigorous foundation in Hindustani classical music directly from him — the source from which her music flows.
Pandit Pradeep Natekar
Mrunal advanced her training under Pt. Pradeep Natekar, deepening her classical grammar and refining the devotional voice that defines her music today.
Under this guidance the family tradition matured into a distinct artistry — disciplined in the classical form, generous in its devotional expression.
Mrunal Natekar-Bhide
Through her performances and teaching, Mrunal Natekar-Bhide continues to uphold the traditions of Hindustani classical music while inspiring the next generation of musicians. Her devotion to both performance and education makes her a vital figure in the Indian classical music community.
“A tradition is not inherited. It is practised, every single day.”
