Narayan was born on 25 April 1952 in Udaipur, Rajasthan as the oldest son of sarangi player Ram Narayan. He was taught music from an early age and began playing the sarod at the age of seven. Narayan knows how to play sarangi, but chose to specialize in playing the sarod, stating he believed his background would give him an advantage over other sarod players and that he liked its combination of melody and percussio. Narayan studied for a short time under his uncle, tabla player Chatur Lal, and sarod player Ali Akbar Khan in Delhi, but returned to study under his father following Lal's death in 1965. In 1967, Narayan received the President's gold medal as top instrumentalist in the All India Radio competition.
