When he was nine years old, he used to sit on his father’s lap while his father taught him how to hold a sarangi, a four stringed musical instrument. With an ear for tunes and being keen to learn as well, Dharmaraj Gandarbha soon began playing the instrument with ease and, in time, went on to strum the sarangi in, on a rough estimate, 1200 Nepali songs.
