‘Bansuri Guru’, a 60-minute documentary film on internationally acclaimed flute maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, was premiered here on Sunday.
“It is a great tribute to the maestro whose whole life has been dedicated to music,” said Governor SC Jamir after inaugurating the special screening of the documentary organised by the Siksha O Anusandhan University at the Institute of Technical Education and Research (ITER) here.
“He is a living legend and he could make the flute talk,” he said.
The documentary, capturing the unknown facets of the maestro’s early life and his rise as an icon in the world of music, is produced by the government-run Films Division of India (FDI) and directed by Panditji’s son Rajeev.
Pandit Chaurasia was felicitated by the Governor on the occasion along with eminent sculptor Padma Vibhushan Raghunath Mohapatra.
The Governor also inaugurated a new auditorium at the Institute of Technical Education and Research christened as Bansuri Guru Auditorium.
