The famous sitarist Pandit Ravi Shankar was born on this day i.e. April 7 to a Bengali family in Varanasi. One thing very few people would know about Pandit Ravi Shankar, who is said to be the Godfather of world music, he had ventured into the art world through dance, not a sitar. Later, at the age of about 18, young Ravi Shankar's mind connected to the strings of the sitar and then he emerged as the magician of the world of the sitar.

From the sitar associated with the dance: Pandit Ravi Shankar was born in the year 1920 and his childhood was completed around the ghats of Banaras. His full name was called Ravindra Shankar Chaudhary, which he later changed to Ravi Shankar. The child Ravi Shankar has received an atmosphere of music at home. His brother Pandit Udayshankar was also known as a well-known dancer. Seeing the dance atmosphere, Ravi Shankar joined brother's dance group as he grew up and started coming and going with the congregation almost all over the world, including in European countries. In the meantime, he noticed playing the sitar and that was the thing that immediately made Ravi Shankar's connection. He was about 18 years old then.

Pandit Ravi Shankar did not like any kind of disturbance while playing the sitar at all. He would always get angry at those who came to listen to music with tickets, but if someone was focused on something. He believed that such an audience was doing injustice to those who took music seriously. The story of a time is always narrated when at an event in Banaras, he expressed his displeasure at a female listener. What happened was that the woman who came to the event was engaged in knitting sweaters. On seeing her, the sitarist stopped playing the sitar altogether and said that either your fingers will move or mine. Here that the fingers of the player on the sitar shake very fast, and then the music is enticing.
