Description:
উদয়পথের সহযাত্রী is an evocative memoir by Timirbaran Bhattacharya, one of the prominent figures in the world of Indian classical music and a disciple of the legendary Uday Shankar. In this intimate narrative, he recounts his transformative journey—from his initial introduction to dance through Uday Shankar's performance, to his travels across Europe as part of Shankar's troupe.

Timirbaran's path is deeply intertwined with music, especially after his mentorship under two of the greatest sarod maestros, Amir Khan and Alauddin Khan. He vividly details his experiences with the famous New Theatres, his exposure to European culture, and his close association with Rabindranath Tagore. His life's music was not just influenced by his training but by the emotional resonance of the instruments he played, especially the sarod.

This autobiography sheds light on a remarkable artist's journey, blending the beauty of personal memories with historical milestones, as he reflects on his musical contributions, from conducting orchestras for Uday Shankar to his work with the All India Radio and later as a music director in theatre and film.
