A noted vocalist of Gita Govinda, he left a promising career in film music in Chennai, to provide vocal support in his wife, Sanjukta Panigrahi, legendary Odissi danseuse performances and also a composer.[1] He has lifetime contribution towards promoting, propagating and popularizing the life and works of Shri Jayadeva, messages of Geeta govinda and the cult of Lord Jagannatha. Raghunath Panigrahi was born on August 10, 1934 in Gunupur, Koraput, Orissa.

[@neerakhanna6235]

Such melodious singing!! Love to listen again and again.

[@ahalliyahk5585]

The very best rendition of Dheera Sameera...I listened to Panditji when i was a child...and still I have not found any replacement for his style of divine Geeta Govindam. Jai ho..Panditji

[@AbhashPanda]

If there was any true singing legend in Odisha, that was undoubtedly the one and only Pandit Raghunath Panigrahi. My humblest tribute to this true legend who makes every Odia proud.

[@gbsingharora4771]

Excellent Excellent Excellent

[@60muvi1]

He was fluent in Telugu, adept in Carnatic music and I had the pleasure of knowing him from his Madras days when he was a popular playback singer.

[@upendrakishoremishra9660]

Odissi classical world should follow beaming light of our times.

[@bayapagal1]

what a voice , what a singing , what a song .....great great great

[@nanditarao4]

no one equals sri Raghunath Panigrahi and no one will in future because he has the fullest menefestation of Indian Music

[@sadhanasatapathy9945]

His singing is unique. One is always thrilled to listen to his singing.I heard it long time back and now I am listening through youtube. 👍youtube

[@60muvi1]

I think it is " challani raja, O chanda mamma'. All I remember is it is 1956 to 1960. I had met him in Madras when he was a coveted playback singer and a second time in Europe years later. His Telugu is flawless. I know from him that he had his earlier musical training in Vijayanagaram. It is not surprising to those of us from the border areas of A.P and Orissa.

[@sudarsandas6175]

The legend in Oriya classical singing.With him an era ended.His songs are alltime creations.

[@triplehiodia.1714]

Aha... soulful and smooth.

[@DhanadaKantaMishra]

Nobody will ever be able to render Geeta Govinda like late Pt Rahunath Panigrahi ji. His music will live on for ever in the hearts of his multitude admirers. RIP.

[@cantacanario]

Que afortunada he sido de conocerlo. El me enseñó the morning melody , y con la maestra Sanjukta, tuve el honor de aprender de ella valiosos ejercicios que hasta ahora me acompañan. Tuve la dicha de verla a ella bailar muchas veces, conversando desde sus pies llenos de campanitas, con el canto de Ragunath. Algunas veces me invitaban a su pequeña orquesta, a tocar los pequeños platillos. Amor eterno para Ragunath y Sanjukta. Los amaré siempre, conforme pasa el tiempo sus imágenes crecen en mi Memoria.

[@60muvi1]

I HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF KNOWING HIM WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG PLAYBACK SINGER IN TELUGU MOVIES AND LATER AS A SUPERB SINGER OF gEETA gOVINDAM, wHAT A SUPERB MUSICIAN!
