Anandi started training under her aunt Sutapa Bhattacharya at the age of three, and gave her first radio performance at four. When she was 12, she studied under Vidushi Shubhra Guha. She has toured internationally and recorded (Madeira, Beyond the Ragashere) with her father, including an experimental program on Tagore’s songs, and performed extensively with him in the US, including an appearance on an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Accompaniment by Pt. Ramesh Misra on sarangi (bowed lute) and Subasish Bhattacharya on tabla.
