Bhilwara (Rajasthan), April 29: Jagdish Bemali, a 21-year-old rising star from the culturally rich soil of Rajasthan, is making a remarkable impact on the regional music landscape. Born as Jagdish Chandra Gadri on November 27, 2003, in the small village of Bemali in Kareda Tehsil, Bhilwara district, the singer has captured the hearts of audiences with his unique voice and spiritual connection to folk music.

Raised in a traditional household—his father, Shravan Lal Gadri, and mother, Rukman Devi, both rooted in local customs—Jagdish grew up immersed in devotional practices and music. From a young age, he gravitated toward bhakti sangeet (devotional music) and found early guidance from spiritual mentors such as Ugrada Mand and Mada Satti Bada Devnarayan.

His musical journey began at 14, when he started performing devotional songs at local events and temples. Over the years, Jagdish has evolved into a digital-age folk icon, with his songs racking up thousands—sometimes millions—of views on streaming platforms. His breakout hit, “Ghar Aaja Pardesi Piya,” became a viral success, amassing over a million views within its first month.

Blending tradition with modern presentation, Jagdish’s catalogue includes devotional anthems like “Dev Ji Ki Mahima,” “Deenanath,” and “Khama Khama.” In late 2024, he released a duet titled “Banadi Thumka Su Chalo” with Twinkal Vaishnav, further proving his versatility and collaborative spirit.

His presence spans across major platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, where he regularly shares performances, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and spiritual messages. Songs like “Royal Gadri” and “Ugada Mand Ki Aarti” are available on Amazon Music and Apple Music, showcasing his appeal beyond regional borders.

In recognition of his efforts to revive and popularise Rajasthani devotional music, Jagdish was felicitated with a state-level award presented by Bollywood playback singer Alka Yagnik, a moment he described as “deeply humbling and motivating.”

Jagdish Bemali represents a new generation of artists bringing folk music into contemporary relevance, bridging the gap between ancestral traditions and modern audiences.
