Welcome to Bansuri Gurukul!

Bansuri or the bamboo flute, is one among the ancient musical instruments of India. Bansuri has a unique reverence and value owing to its epical and historical background. This instrument was being used only in folk and background music till the last century. Afterwards because of the huge efforts of several great flautists, now bansuri has attained the status of a solo instrument in hindusthani music. Its sweet melody attracts everybody. Though a bansuri looks simple to look at it is not that easy to play it. Hence an effort to help the interested and talented students to learn the art of bansuri playing is being put in the form of Gokula Bansuri Gurukul.
