Bundu Khan was born in Delhi in a family of musicians. He received his early training in sarangi from his father Ali Jan Khan starting at 8 years of age, and later from his uncle Mamman Khan, a veteran Sarangi and Sursagar Player who belonged to the Patiala gharana (House of Patiala) of classical musicians. Bundu Khan played the sarangi from All India Radio, Delhi Station, when it first started broadcasting in 1935. He served the princely court of Indore for 27 years as a court-musician.He studied Sanskrit in order to have access to the classical music of ancient India. He introduced what is known as Meendh Soot Ki Sargam in which the musician, in the midst of recurring melody, shifts from one note to another. He had mastered more than 500 Ragas.

Read moreWe visited this bakery hoping for a sweet treat, and their pastries looked incredible. We picked out a variety of items, including some of their Baked Items. We thought the total would be around 4000, but when we went to pay, the final charge was 6500. It felt like we were being scammed.
When we asked for an itemized bill to see where the extra charges came from, they refused and simply told us they could "return 2500." The lack of transparency was shocking. The baked goods were decent, but we can't recommend a place that overcharges its customers and refuses to provide a proper invoice. Please be aware and double-check your bill if you decide to visit.
