Indian classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj died on Monday following a cardiac arrest at his home in New Jersey, his daughter Durga Jasraj said. One of India’s greatest music legends, Pandit Jasraj leaves behind a storied legacy spanning almost eight decades. Bapuji is no more, his daughter Durga, also a musician, told PTI over phone from Mumbai. Jasraj, who belonged to the Mewati Gharana, was in the US when the coronavirus-led lockdown happened and decided to stay back in that country. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, Pandit Jasraj ji’s family, and the students of Mewati Gharana,” it said.
