Purushottam Das (Born: 7 July 1907 – Died: 21 January 1991) was the pioneer of the Nathdwara school of Pakhawaj (a barrel-shaped, two-headed drum instrument usually played in the Indian subcontinent) playing.
[1] He was the son of Sri Ghanshyam Das ji and the eldest member of Nathdwara parampara.
Since he was five years old he was able to recite and play various taals in traditional ways.
Sri Ghanshyam Das ji used to take little Purushottam along to the temple while playing for the Lord.
