Ravi Shankar (Bengali: রবি শঙ্কর Robi Shôngkor, Hindi: रवि शङ्कर or शंकर) (born April 7, 1920, in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India) is an Indian composer best known for his virtuosity on the sitar.

A disciple of Allauddin Khan (founder of the Maihar gharana of Indian classical music), Pandit Ravi Shankar is arguably the best-known Indian instrumentalist and is well known for his pioneering work in bringing the power and appeal of the Indian classical music tradition, as well as Indian music and its performers in general, to the West. This was done through his association with The Beatles (particularly George Harrison) as well as with his own personal charisma. His musical career spans over six decades and Shankar currently holds the Guinness Record for the longest international career.
