Veteran classical singer Swarayogini Dr. Prabha Atre, a representative of the Kirana Gharana, passed away at the age of 91 in Pune.
Her demise, attributed to a cardiac arrest, marks a significant loss in the music world. Dr. Atre, a recipient of all three Padma awards, was not only an acclaimed classical vocalist but also excelled as an academician, researcher, composer, and author, holding a doctorate in music.

The loss is deeply felt, considering her multifaceted persona and unparalleled achievements in both music and academia.
