Early life
Gangubai Hangal was born in Dharwad to Chikkurao Nadiger, an agriculturist[1] and Ambabai, a vocalist of Carnatic music.[8] Hangal received only elementary education[5] and her family shifted to Hubli in 1928 so that Gangubai could study Hindustani music.[1][9][10] She began to train formally aged 13 with Krishnacharya Hulgur, a kinnari (stringed instrument like a veena)player, studying Hindustani classical music.[11] From Hulgur, Gangubai learned sixty compositions in one year before he stopped teaching her after an argument about his fees.
She also learned from Dattopant Desa
