Pune Musician Creates World Record By Playing Indian Melodies On Vishnu Conch
Pune, September 1, 2025: Pune-based musician Narendra Dhayagude has achieved a unique milestone by developing a technique to play Indian musical notes Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni and various melodies on a Vishnu conch (shankh).
This innovative approach has earned him recognition from World Records India. It is indeed a proud moment as an award has been constituted upon a Pune musician.Â
The award was presented to Dhayagude on August 8, 2025, at Shri Kshetra Dehu by H.B.P. Manik Maharaj More, a descendant of Saint Tukaram Maharaj, on behalf of Pawan Solanki, CEO of World Records India.

Dhayagude has shared an introduction and demonstration of this technique on his YouTube channel (@narendradhayagude2609).
He is also conducting scientific research to establish the conch as not only a religious instrument but also a standalone musical instrument. Additionally, he plans to guide enthusiasts who wish to learn this rare art form.
