Mahua is gifted with a very strong and melodious voice which is perfectly suitable  for the Khayal and Thumri style of hindustani music. Her soulful rendition of Ragas has kept the audience mesmerised and has won her many appreciations and accolades. She is an artist of great calibre, having command on several genres like Khayal, Thumri, Kajri, Chaiti, etc. Systematic exposition of rag structure, brilliant phrasing, variety of Taan Patterns – these are a few of the remarkable qualities  of her singing. She belongs to Patiala Gharana ,and was blessed enough to get training in Hindustani classical under the guidance of  Pandit Ajoy Chakroborty, and in semi classical from late Smt. Shipra  Basu.
