Bharati Vaishampayan

Her performance was heard by Pandit Nivruttibua Sarnaik, the maestro of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, who wrote to her to invite her to become his student.

During this period Vaishampayan also met Shri Baburao Joshi of Kolhapur, who trained her in light-classical forms of music such as Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, Jhoola and Tappa.

She worked as an expert on the station's Selection Committee in 1990, and participated in various discussions shows, including Future of Classical Music and Swarlipi of Pandit Bhatkhande.

[clarification needed] She also participated in a number of special programmes and lecture-demonstrations on rare and less-performed Raagas of Hindustani music.

Two CDs of various live performances by Vaishampayan have been released by the Musician's Guild, featuring Raagas including Shuddha Kalyan, Yaman, Shankara, Khambavati, Kaushi Kanada, Adana Bahaar and Malvi.
