About the teacher

Anup Jalota

Anup Jalota has recorded and performed devotional bhajans since the mid-1970s, becoming one of India's best-known voices in the genre and earning the honorific 'Bhajan Samrat' (Emperor of Bhajans). His style sits within the traditional Indian devotional lineage rather than the Western kirtan scene, drawing on classical training alongside popular appeal.

He continues to perform concerts across India and internationally.
