Mandira Lahiri

Under Mandira's pious and sweet rendition, the morning raag flowered. She travelled three octaves with utmost ease. She has established her supremacy among leading stalwarts in the musical map of the nation…

The melody and sweetness of Mandira's voice enthralled the listeners. The production of Sargams and Taans reminds one, very strongly of her Guru Pt. Chinmoy Lahiri …  

In the contemporary music circles, Mandira Lahiri is a popular name. She has received tutelage in the hands of her Guru Pt. Chinmoy Lahiri. Her performange could well be described as 'the best' in relative terms.  

The taankari, laykari sargams of Mandira are very finely woven. She has a very gifted voice. She is an artiste who gives a performance of great depth and emotion…  

Mandira Lahiri sang melodiously in a very high-pitched voice. Khayal is Surdasi Malhar. If followed, the pattern described before, her "tans" falling like rapids put one in mind of her guru-bahin Perveen Sultana. Mandira's enunciation was clear and the lyric "Sawan Ayo" was handled with understanding.
