Description

The most befitting tribute to Meera Banerjee’s singing came from none other than her husband, who had said that when Meera sang, it was pristinely pure as the very soul of all creations. Initiated into music by her father Shri Shailendra Kumar Lahiri. At a mere age of thirteen, she was selected by AIR and by the mid-fifties, several of her discs came out, becoming immensely popular. Meera started learning under Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan in 1950. She turned several European countries as a member of the cultural delegation sent by the Government of India in 1954. Her glorious performances abroad were honoured in India by the President and Priminister through a special ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. In 1957, the handsome, melodious vocalist Prasun Banerjee became her life partner.
Concerts in all the major conferences round the country and abroad, as well as the AIR & Doordarshan Live National Programmes won her numerous accolades. Meera Banerjee also sang in some award-winning feature films. In 1996, ITC SRA, Kolkata presented her the ITC Award. Surbahar conferred on her the Bhuwalka Award in 1999, while the West Bengal State Music Academy in 2000 felicitated her.
