About Swarnayan
I am Swarnayan, a Hindustani Classical Vocalist with over 25 years of dedicated training in the Bishnupur Gharana, under the guidance of Pt. Pranay Pathak since the age of four.
My musical perspective is further enriched through exposure to the Maihar Gharana tradition, connected to the lineage of Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia. This dual grounding has shaped my understanding of gayaki ang, raga architecture, tonal discipline, and aesthetic clarity.
Over the years, I have performed at major cultural platforms and academic stages, and have guided students with a calm, structured, and lineage-respecting approach.
My teaching combines traditional parampara with analytical clarity — helping students build not just repertoire, but deep musical understanding and disciplined riyaaz habits.

I have been learning both flute and classical singing from Swarnayan, and it has been a truly wonderful experience. He teaches with great patience and clarity, making even complex techniques feel approachable. His knowledge of both instruments and classical vocal music is impressive, and his passion for music really motivates you to keep improving. Thanks to him, I have grown so much as a musician. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn!
Swarnayan is a thoughtful teacher who understands how to guide students at different levels. His classes make classical music accessible and enjoyable.
Learning bansuri from Swarnayan has deepened my appreciation of Hindustani classical music. His knowledge of ragas and phrasing is impressive.
My child has been learning vocal music with Swarnayan and we are very happy with the progress. He is encouraging while maintaining discipline in practice.
Sir explains difficult biology topics in a very simple and logical way. Diagrams, mechanisms and processes finally started making sense to me. His lessons helped me gain much more confidence before my exams.
