Annapurna Devi (17 April 1927 – 13 October 2018) was an Indian surbahar player of Hindustani classical music.

However, she was always addressed to as Annapurna at home, and this name was legally formalised when she converted to Hinduism on the day of her marriage to Ravi Shankar.

He went on to found of the Senia-Maihar gharana, which was a branch of the Rampur Senia gharana of Wazir Khan but with its own uniqueness as a result of the more eclectic erudition that Alauddin Khan himself had acquired in his life through many other gurus, his adherence to the Dhrupad style of playing, and his opennes and versatiliity of baaj or playing style.

However, her father felt that the more complex beenkari style of music of Wazir Khan, which he had learnt on the sursringar, could be handed down to her as legacy as she was more interested in being his erudite student than a performer.

[11][10] They were informally separated from the '60s, when Ravi Shankar left India for the United States with his then-paramour Kamala Chakravarty.

[10] Rooshikumar Pandya, who was 42 years old at the time of their marriage, was a communication expert and psychology professor in Canada and the USA.

Prof. Pandya was also an amateur sitarist and had been learning sitar from Devi since 1973 at the recommendation of her brother, Ali Akbar Khan, who was also his guru (as was Ravi Shankar).

Her student Vinay Bharat Ram had once reported that she was uncomfortable accepting payment for concerts, as it was her belief that it was akin to selling the Goddess Saraswati.

For the rest of her life, she was a much-sought after guru for students and aficionados of Hindustani Classical music, though she only accepted a handful of them.
