Dear freinds ,
just recently at the swai ghandharv festival in pune where i live they had displayed the five volumes of the bhatkande's work in english
for decades its considered as the bible of indian classical( i am sure everyone here knows it)
This will be of great help for begginers here and advance students
There are two styles followed in indian classical
one is the D.V paluskar style and the other is Bhatkande
This books have proved helpful for the performing artists as well(for reference)
Best of Luck !!!!!!!!
