Shagird of two of the most prolific, but yet methodically differing masters of the sarod, Pandit Radhika Mohan Moitra and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Narendra Nath Dhar possesses a unique Seniya baaj. Born in Kolkata in 1954, he was initially groomed by his father, Late Shri Nemaichand Dhar and later by Shri Samarendra Nath Sikdar and Pandit Radhika Mohan Maitra. Pt. Radhika Mohan Maitra played a crucial role in nurturing Narendra as one of the topmost sarod players of his generation. His musical prowess received a further honing under Ustad Amjad Ali Khan.
