Atul Purohit
Atul purohit is a popular name in the world of Gujarati folk music, dandiya & garba. He is famous for Sunderkand katha and devotional songs.
He was born in Dabhoi in Vadodara Gujarat on February 27, 1957. Dabhoi has 6 major temples and is a great pilgrimage for Jains. It seems Purohit was born with a divine vocal chord. With music running in his veins right from childhood , he got his first musical instrument - the harmonium at the tender age of 10. Since then his harmonium has been his true companion. As he grew, he realized he was born to sing and joined the college for training in dramatics.
Still, the journey from anonymity to stardom was not an easy road for the talented young singer. However, his love and dedication for music made this struggle exciting and memorable. Atul Purohit began with performing on the local street with the local artists absolutely free of cost. He entertained audience with his Graba, Bhajans, Sugam sangeet, Classical songs, sufi and folk songs.
Later in 1985, he formed a group with five of his close friends. Atul Purohit then made his mark in the world of music with his album "Tara Vina Shyam" and after that there was no looking back. He established his own troop that is called the Rutambara Group. The group is a major attraction at the United Way of Vadodara and performs during the auspicious season of Navratri.
Atul Purohit is such a living legend of this era who is from the land of Gujarat and with his excellent voice and incomparable music sense makes Garba popular to the young generation as well as to the Non-Gujaratis.
