About Me

Dattatraya Hegde
Sanskrit Vidwan, Flute artist in Hindustani classical music

I was born in 1987 in a cultured and well educated family. As the environment influenced my childhood, I naturally developed interest towards Indian Culture, music and literature. My primary and secondary educations were done in local schools. Further, my specialized education on Sanskrit literature and vedic studies were accomplished in Shreemata Sanskrit college, Ummachagi. My bachelor and master degrees were obtained in AlankAra shAstra at Karnataka Sanskrit university. Currently I am pursuing my Ph.D in the same field at Karnataka Sanskrit university.

During my studies at Shreemata Sanskrit college, I happened to know about Pandit. Nagaraj Hegde, Shirnala, a renowned flute artist who is the disciple of Pandit Venkatesh Godkhindi (The Grate Flutist and Vocalist). I was blessed to learn music under his guidance in his self-founded “Gokula Bansuri Gurukula”. From past six years, I have been practicing flute with his support throughout thereby propagating Godkhindi style of flute legacy.
