Pandit Jayateerth Mevundi (born 1972) is one of the Kirana gharana’s leading vocalists. Jayateerth hails from Hubli, North Karnataka in India. His initial training began at home, informally singing bhajans and other devotional music. Aged 14 he ventured out to find a guru. Jayateerth received his initial training in music under the tutelage of Sangeet Ratna Pt Arjunsa Nakod of Gwalior Gharana for about 10 years. From 1989 onward, he received musical lessons under the able guidance of great vocalist Pt Bhimsen Joshi. Having trained with Shripati Padigar, Jayateerth Mevundi is a torchbearer of Kirana gharana. His aesthetic build-up of the form is marked by the use of permutation and combination of notes, extensive ornamentation, sargam and electrifying tan patterns. Jayateerth has received many accolades for his brilliant performances.
To name a few - Pt Jasraj Gourav Puraskar, Young Maestro Award, Mewati Gharana Sangeet Gourav Puraskar, Shanmukhananda Sangeet Shiromani Award and more.
In the fifth Bengal Classical Music Festival held in Dhaka in 2016, Jayateerth Mevundi enthralled the audience by rendering Krishna Bhajan "Baje re muraliya baje re". The recital was rooted in the serenity and devotion one experiences. The audience was captivated by the nuanced sustained notes, deliberate meends and heavy gamaks and taans which beautifully describe Jayateerth Mevundi’s oeuvre. at the late evening the raag rendition was made memorable by accompaniments.
