Ustad Bismillah Khan (1916 – 2006) as he is popularly known, is credited with taking the humble wind instrument called ‘Shehnai’ to the local and international music scene. The ‘Shehnai’ is a folk music instrument traditionally played in village functions. Now it is used even in concerts, thanks to Ustad Bismillah Khan.

For his valuable contribution, he was conferred the Bharat Ratna in 2001, by the Indian Government.

He hailed from a family of musicians and his father was a court musician in the Maharaja of Dumraon’s court.
