Baba Harballabh

Swami Harballabh was a Hindustani classical vocalist and a saint.[1] In 1875, he established the first Hindustani classical music festival in the world, known as Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan.[2]

He was born to an affluent family at a village in Bajwara. He was a student of Swami Tulja Gir, who encouraged him to practice art and music. The place where Swami Hariballabh used to sing became a mecca for musicians and players of classical music.[2]
