Pandit carried indian classical music on great helghos. Renowned sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan wrote on X: “It is with profound sorrow that I learn of the passing of Pandit Chhannulal Mishra. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his music continue to echo in every sur and every shraddha of classical music lovers. Beyond performances, Pandit Mishra nurtured hundreds of disciples, ensuring that semi-classical forms such as thumri, dadra, and kajri, once at risk of fading, remain alive for future generations. On October 2, 2025, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, Pandit Mishra passed away, leaving behind a legacy as eternal as the Ganga.
