Biography

Shashikala earned a Bachelor of Arts and settled in Hubballi, where she married Shri Arun Dani, son of journalist T.S.R. Awardee Lt. Shri Surendra Dani.[4] They have a son together, the musician Sugnan Dani. After working at the State Bank of Mysore for 33 years, she is now recognized as a notable Jaltarang artist,[5][6][7] striving hard to preserve, develop, and promote this unique instrument.[8]

Musical career

Particularly fascinated by Jal tarang, she decided to dedicate and develop her classical music career with a focus on this instrument.[9]

After much experimentation with the Jaltarang, Shashikala has imbibed both "Gayaki and Tantrakari angs"[10] in her playing style. She is trained in the Gwalior gharana school of classical Indian music, and she has also developed multiple other styles over the years. Her specialty is "Layakari".[11]

She is presently involved in mentoring young and passionate musical talents at her institute, Swara Naada Sangeeta Vidyalaya.
