Jagannathbuwa Purohit (12 March 1904 – 1968), also known as Pandit Gunidas, was a singer and a teacher of Hindustani classical music.
Tabla artist Pt Bhai (Suresh) Gaitonde, Farukhabad gharana, received his initial training from him.
One of them praised him for his devotion and said, "You are a real Gun-das (worshiper of virtue)" and from this statement, he acquired his pen name Gunidas.
His musical training continued until he landed in the house of the Agra dynasty's major singer, Ustad Vilayat Husain Khan.
As a quality in music, “Rang” transcends considerations of voice quality, grammar, and communication of 'rasa' (emotional content).While in Mumbai, he was admired by music lovers and found generous supporters, including V V Gokhale and his younger brother, Va Va Gokhale of Dadar.
A music festival named after him (Gunidas Sammelan) was started by his disciple, C R Vyas, in 1977 and is held every year in Mumbai as well as in other major Indian cities.
