Narendra Nath Dhar (Bengali: নরেন্দ্রনাথ ধর) (born 7 September 1954) is an Indian classical musician who plays the sarod, a string instrument.
[1] In 1969, Pt Maitra, later brought Dhar under his tutelage and played a crucial role in shaping him into one of the most exciting talents of his generation.
[1] Dhar has often been commended for keeping his style of play true to the core as well as giving his renditions an own idiomatic touch.
His typical Alap reflects the true style of Tantrakari Been Ang as well as the traditional playing (Baaj) of 'Alap' and 'Jod'.
In 1995, he was honoured with the prestigious Naushad Award by the Government of Uttar Pradesh for his outstanding contribution in the field of Instrumental music.
