Narayan Shripad Rajhans, better known as Bal Gandharva (26 June 1888 – 15 July 1967), was a Marathi singer and stage actor. He was famous for his roles in female characters in Marathi plays, as women were not allowed to act on stage during that era.
The title "Bal Gandharva" was bestowed upon him by Lokmanya Tilak, after his singing performance in Pune. "Bal Gandharva" in Marathi literally translates to "Young Gandharva" from heaven , Heavenly voice !
