Hailing from a family of musicians,
Pt.Pushpraj Koshti is an accomplished sitar and surbahar artist.
He had his initial training in sitar from his father, the late Shri Ramlal
Koshti, a disciple of Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan of Gwalior. After the
early demise of his father, he came in to contact with Ustad Zia Mohiuddin
Dagar, the famous Veena player, who kindly consented to accept him as his
disciple and guided him generously into mastering the technique of instrumental
music for more than 15 years.
