Pandit Tejendra Mujumdar
One of the best-known Sarod players of the present generation, Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar has long achieved that order of excellence and popular acceptability which ensure one's place in posterity. Born on 17th May 1961, Pt. Tejendra Majumdar is the disciple of Bahadur Khan. Early initiation into music by his grandfather, the Late Bibhuti Ranjan Majumdar, and later his father, the Late Ranjan Majumdar, nurtured Tejendra's considerable talent. One of the best equipped musicians to carry on the Senia Maihar mantle, Tejendra combines the intellectual density and technical virtuosity of his gharana with an extraordinary tone, touch and an ambient melody which transcends any qualification. Above all, he has in abundant measure that indescribable ability to take the listeners along with him--the rare quality that is the hallmark of genius. He stood first in the All India Radio music competition in 1981 and was awarded the President's Gold Medal and the Pandit D.V. Paluskar award.

Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar's brilliance and popularity as a classical artiste has not dimmed his interest in composing, arranging and experimenting in other areas of music. From composing the background score of meaningful films to musical ballets, Tejendra is always ready to take on any musical challenge.
