Gifted with a stunningly rich voice , the soft
, emotive and spiritual approach of the Mewati gharana forms the
ethos of Saptarshi's gayaki keeping intact the sweet and note wise
melodic elaboration of the Kotali & Kirana gharana owing to his
earlier training under his father.
Saptarshi specialises in the rederring of 'Khayal'
, the prevalent form of Hindustani Vocal music and his rendition of
devotional music 'Bhajan' and 'Haveli Sangeet' always leaves the
audience on a spiritual high.
