Nobody will never ever match his talent and technique of playing, his magic touch, because tabla playing was his life's tapasyia, his daily worship. His way of living, of thinking and of playing were different, that's why I fell in love with him, still love him and will love him forever. The biggest loss of my life... May my beloved husband rest in peace and be remembered always...

Ek baar ustad ahmed jan thirakwa ne kaha tha ki kash lachhu mera beta hota He is the one of the greatest tabla players He never played tabla for money

I see here The Great Lacchu maharaj ji worshipping the art of Tabla ... just loved the way he enjoyed all the bandishes ... he loved playing each and every alphabet with ultimate joy ... this should be the goal ... RIP legend

In any kind of drum discipline this is one of the greatest solos I have ever heard.

this video is so amazing. i remeber seeing it years ago when youtube first began. The beginning part with the music in the background, and him hitting the chillum is so relaxing. Wonderful ambience, the birds chirping, some people chattering, some bells and incense, feels like I'm there.

My entire life could never lead to such perfection even if I practiced every moment of it.

He was not a tabla vaadak but a great Sidh Farishta. He was least concerned with but others think about him. His tabla is divine tabla. He played for his "स्वांतः सुखाय " . आदेश आदेश ।

chilam ke rang me table ka sang. this was great tabla player in india. banaras garana

He is the best tabla player of modern India. He was too honest and never sucked-up to powerful people, so he missed the fame and recognition others like Allah Rakha got.

The important thing is, what he's played, It makes no sense to comment on smoke...Pandit Lachhu Maharaj Ji is presenting difficult composition with amazing gesture in tabla playing...!

First of all let me express my respectful Pranam to you. You are no doubt a exceptionally talented Tabla Player. Hats off to you 💅💅💅

*Lacchu Maharaj is one of the prominent one among all.A few people know that Pandit Ji was offerd his tabla beats for timeless and Epic Hindi Movive PAKIZAAH*

ultimately maharaj tamed the Tabala. rare devotion. rare clarity .class apart.

Thanks Google for making me acquainted with such a great person. This is really special and loved it very much. Maharaj wherever you are, stay happy and may god give you peace to your soul!

This is a unique video and what Lachhu Maharaj is playing is outstanding... amazing swing to his teen taal

Immortal arts Can't die Master piece of Rytham

En Benarés conoci a muchos musicos que en realidad son fantasticos ejecutantes del Tablá. No obstante, opacados por tanto alcohol, fumar Hachis o Mariguana en algunos casos.... En fin, cada quien tiene el derecho de destruir o conducir su vida como crea más conveniente... Asi las cosas..

Great musician indeed...I knew him back in mid-'90s in Europe, saw some astounding concerts and celebrated some very intense "Kali puja" (chillum smoking) with him....

Authentic Banaras, amazing style and dexterity.

Kya gazab base hai yrrr baya ka👌👌👌❤❤❤❤

Smoking weed is not proportional to how good you play...he played well because he is an expert and not because of the weed...

वाह वाह 3.10 पर तिहाई के साथ ही उसी ले में पक्षी की आवाज़ पर ध्यान दीजिए 🙏🙏🙏 वाह वाह सच्ची साधना के साथ हर एक पल लय में निहित हो जाता है जय गुरुदेव जय तबला

He is the Indian version of a rock star...rock on!!!

I still get goosebums hearing him play. An old friend of mine introcuced me to Lachu's music more than 10 years ago. I even had to try and smoke the shillum a few times. May his soul rest in peace!

Mesmerising ! They rhythm just flowed ! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

What an amazing artist he was. Magical hands. Wow

Thanks to the prompt from Google Doodle celebrating the 74th Birth Day of this Tabla Maestro i have listened to his rendition. Simply beautiful. God Bless him. Thanks please

Wah... What a treat to watch him play... His fingers seem dancing on table... 👌👌👏👏

I love the way the herb is part of his ritual. One can see that he has reverence for his gurus, the herb and his tabla.

Ap kabajaneka style pura alag hai kya bat hai

My Pranam to Ustaadji....

Kya baat hai guruji. Superb

Great musician ! This is a cut from from "Bénarès, musique du Gange = Banaras, music of the Ganges" (by director Yves Billon, coproduction La Sept: Les Films du Village, 1989)(also featuring Bismillah Khan, Girja Devi, N. Rajam)

Out of this world...

Amazing!!

RIP Lachhu Maharaj - He died on wednesday night

Sadhu Sadhu, Master Ji, Aadesh🙏🙏🙏😘

SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH, ofcourse.. Late Lachchu Maharaj's 'tabla-vadan' remarkably draws attention of parents to guide their children to learn music. Music is prayer. May God rest his soul peace.

Believe it or not, he is the maternal uncle of actor Govinda (his mother's brother) and the half-brother of Kumkum the actress (who hides the fact that her real father was Vasudev Maharaj and she was Nirmala Devi's half sister, daughter of Munnan Apa).

Omg .🤯🤯🤯 I never believe it ...🙏🙏🙏

nice very nice indeed

@Rajati1 Yes he lives in Benares

वाह वाह 🙏

He is enjoying

Outstanding

Excellent ustad 👌👌👌

Bum Bum Bholenath

He thinks he's better than he actually is.... and that's what makes his 'vibe' so cool! (e.g. 3:41... like he just played the awesomest beat in the world). To me, this type of tabla playing is very entertaining. Reminds me of when I used to sit next to Maharudra Dhumal playing pakhawaj in Ganeshpuri. I would loved to have seen Lachu Maharaj in person.

Legend

Ram! Ram! ~

Rock!!

जय बाबा काशी विश्वनाथ.....

One Mlllion whoever replicate❤

I can feel what am I hearing!

sweet Jesus what a master

Bayan is very good

I think we can't get that varansi back.which it use to be till 2015

for me it's the indian klaus kinski. he rocks the tabla

You love that?

Many top classical musicians needed some type of nasha. Creativity has a darker side.

Brilliant.

यही भाव तो है जब आप स्वयमेव कहेंगे कि जियो रजा बनारस

Shiva shiva🙏🕉

You are thinking about Lachhu Maharaj the kathak dancer,

Great👍

He is govinda mama...

on his birthday???

wow!!!

SAIVA SHAKTI

greatest

Very nice

Lachhu ji Maharaj- great

Would you imagine this...living at the same time and being neighbour of Bismillah Khan and Girija Devi...I don't know they ever met...Yet, Varanasi (Banares) is one of the richest ancient city in India, in terms of musical, cultural and most tolerant possible cohabitation between Hindus, Muslims, Budddhist and Jaina followers.

Swag se Bajao ❤️😍

🙏🙏

Gajab

Can anyone send me the exact bols of this... Teentaal tukda... It's awesome

may he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us

Nice
