Sangita Pradhan Rana was born on 15th July 1962 in Biratnagar, Nepal. However, she spent most of her childhood in India after her family moved there when she was just 2 years old. She was born as the youngest daughter to L.M. Pradhan and Shanti Devi Pradhan, and she has three brothers and two sisters. Growing up, Sangita was a shy, disciplined, and polite child with minimal interest in mischief. Sangita completed her early schooling at St. Joseph School in Darjeeling before moving to Calcutta (now Kolkata) to pursue her higher education at Vishwabharati University, where she earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. 🎶 Musical Journey and Passion for Classical Music From an early age, Sangita's mother, who had a deep passion for music, encouraged her to join music classes at the age of six. This early exposure laid the foundation for her lifelong interest in music. Her journey into the musical world was further strengthened during her time at Vishwabharati University. The university provided a nurturing environment where many famous Indian singers, including Jagjit Singh and Ghulam Ali, visited to give lectures and perform, which deeply inspired Sangita. It was during this period that her love for classical music blossomed. Sangita often bunked the hostel to attend classical music programs with her friends, further fueling her interest in the art form. The musical environment in her university was instrumental in her decision to take music more seriously. She even chose classical music as her primary subject in college.
