About Shubha Chaki

Ms. Shubha Chaki was initiated into Hindustani Classical music at the tender age of 4 by her aunt Smt Sheela Das who is a reputed vocalist in Kolkata (West Bengal, INDIA) and was then a disciple of the Rabindrasangeet exponent Lt. Smt. Maya Sen. Shubha continued her learning with Smt. Bijali Kar Roy Choudhury for another couple of years before she moved to Pune (Maharashtra, INDIA).

Gajananrao Joshi, a stalwart of this Gharana himself.
