Visiting from the sacred city of Pushkar, Vini Dewara is a master vocalist whose music carries the richness of generations. Trained in the ancient Indian classical tradition by his father and grandfather, Vini blends the timeless beauty of Rajasthani folk song with the meditative devotion of Kirtan. A regular performer at major festivals including the Holi celebrations in Pushkar Stadium, his voice evokes the spirit of India—joyful, soulful, and deeply moving. Vini Devda is the heart and soul of Krishna Music School and holds a degree in Indian classical vocal music from Government College Ajmer. He has dedicated the past 15 years to teaching and nurturing students at Krishna Music School.
