Pandit Kishan Maharaj is a familar figure on the concert circuit with his red tikka and flowing mane. He is a charmer, winning over the audience easily with his skill, his ability to make the tabla, to which he has devoted his whole life, come up with sound that you would not have expected from it.
His home in Banaras' Kabir Chaura area, musicindiaonline.com discovered 'is like a palace where you can hear only tabla sounds coming out literally from every corner of the house. His students stay and learn with him in the guru-shishya parampara. He is an avid bird lover, one can see rare white pigeons numbering about a hundred, small birds of different families and a big lotus garden, full of roses and flowers... The Ganesh statue, which he made himself, portrays Ganesh playing Pakhawaj and is placed in the music hall upstairs, where concerts by noted musicians take place from time to time.'
