Ustad Bismillah Khan, sultan of the shehnai, performed at the Banaras Utsav 2003 in Mumbai on Gandhi Jayanti.

At 87, the maestro from Banaras revealed why age has not withered his genius or dulled his magic.

Banaras Utsav 2003 was organised in Mumbai for the first time by Perfect-Octave Entertainment and the Music & Arts Group.

'Through this festival, we plan to bring the magic of Banaras and its legendary musicians together,' concert impresario Ratish Tagde told Mid-Day.
