'''Aruna Narayan Kalle''' is an Indian musician who plays the bowed instrument ''[[sarangi]]''. She is the daughter of internationally successful ''sarangi'' player [[Ram Narayan]] and is regarded as the first Indian woman to professionally play the ''sarangi''.<ref name="BusinessLine-First-2019">{{Cite web|last=Nair|date=August 9, 2019|first=Malini|title=Meet India’s first woman sarangi player|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/watch/aruna-kalle-narayan-indias-first-woman-sarangi-player/article28957439.ece|access-date=2020-12-11|website=@businessline}}</ref>

== Early life and career ==
While Narayan always watched her father Ram Narayan play the ''sarangi'' and sometimes played the ''[[tanpura]]'' for him, she decided to learn to play the ''sarangi'' herself only at the age of 18 in 1973, much to the delight of her father. Her father picked out a ''[[sarangi]]'' for her from [[Nashik]], which was previously owned by a travelling ''[[sadhu]]''. She still plays this ''sarangi'' as of 2019.<ref name="BusinessLine-First-2019" />

Within three years of training, she gave her first performance at the [[National Centre for the Performing Arts (India)|National Centre for the Performing Arts]]. She then accompanied her father for his masterclasses at the NCPA with the ''[[surbahar]]'' player [[Annapurna Devi]] and renowned ''[[tabla]]'' player Ahmed Jaan Thirakwa.<ref name="BusinessLine-First-2019" />

Following her marriage in [[Pune]], she continued learning to play from her father, often shuttling between Pune and her hometown, [[Mumbai]]. Like her father, she has worked towards popularising the ''[[sarangi]]'' as a solo instrument. She has also collaborated with other genres of music. She replaced a violin solo with the ''sarangi'' in [[Antonio Vivaldi]]'s ''[[The Four Seasons (Vivaldi)|Four Seasons]]'' while working with [[Canada]]'s [[Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra]] and later composed music for [[San Francisco]]'s [[Kronos Quartet]].<ref name="BusinessLine-First-2019" /> However, she avoids [[fusion music]].<ref name="Cinestaan-Lighter-2018">{{Cite web|last=Iyengar|date=15 July 2018|first=Shriram|title=Indian classical music is becoming lighter to please the masses: Sarangi player Aruna Narayan|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2018/jul/15/14103|access-date=2020-12-11|website=Cinestaan}}</ref>

Narayan has helped compose the background score for movies like ''[[Monsoon Wedding]]'' (2001) and ''[[Life of Pi (film)|Life Of Pi]]'' (2012) and usually works with the composer Michael Dyanna for such projects.<ref name="Cinestaan-Lighter-2018" />
