A Voice That Resonates Beyond Thane – Apoorva Gokhale

Thane has long been known for its rich cultural spirit, and among the many artists who enrich its heritage, Apoorva Gokhale stands out as one of the brightest stars. A resident of Thane, Apoorva is not only an accomplished Hindustani classical vocalist but also a dedicated teacher who has nurtured many promising students in the city.

Earlier, they had relied on watchtowers and smaller forts, but as their power declined, they realized the need for stronger defenses. However, before they could finish, the Marathas swept into Salsette in April 1737. The unfinished fort withstood two Maratha assaults, but t...
