Guha continued her studies even after her marriage in a [[Bengalis|Bengali]] family <ref name="In Tune with Destiny"/> at the age of 19, and in 1972, became a B-grade artist of the [[All India Radio]].<ref name="Under Score Records" /> The same year, she debuted as a performer with her concert at [[Tirumala Temple|Thirumala temple]] in Tirupati.

By 1995, she got the title of ''Vidhushi''.<ref name="University of Massachusetts" /><ref name="Lokvani" /> and the same year she became a Top Grade artist of the [[All India Radio]].<ref name="Under Score Records" />

Guha is proficient in Carnatic and Hindustani schools of music and is the first Andhra woman to sing Hindustani music,<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /> but is more aligned to the latter with a known leaning towards the [[Kirana Gharana]].<ref name="University of Massachusetts" /><ref name="The Hindu" /> The depth of the alaap, the slow elaboration of notes in the vistaar and the stability of swaras became her signature style and she became one with the putative [[Gharana]] with an exceptional quality of infusing indomitable [[spirituality]] in her renditions, as substantiated by concerts in India and later on, abroad. Having been invited to and sponsored by various music foundations abroad, she has travelled widely giving performances and holding workshops in the United States, Canada, Mauritius, West Asia, South-East Asia, Europe including Russia, Algeria, Ukraine, France, Italy, Korea, Germany, Yugoslavia, Holland and the UK.<ref name="Maharishi University of Management Press"<ref name=" Maharishi University of Management Press">{{cite web|url=https://www.mumpress.com/music/vocal-sumitra-guha.html | title=Maharishi University of Management Press | publisher=Maharishi University of Management Press | date=3 February 2010}}</ref><ref name="The Prasnathi Reporter">{{cite web|url=http://www.theprasanthireporter.org/2011/11/music-concert-by-sumitra-guha/| title=The Prasanthi Reporter | publisher=The Prasanthi Reporter | date= 18 November 2011}}</ref><ref name="Summer School Showcase Hindustani Vocal by Sumitra Guha">{{cite web|url=https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/FIMEFG| title=Summer School Showcase Hindustani Vocal by Sumitra Guha| publisher=The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Centre, London | date=31 July 2016}}</ref><ref name="India and the Republic of Korea: Engaged Democracies, Skand R.

In his 'Khayal Vocalism: Continuity Within Change', Deepak Raja, the eminent musicologist writes about Guha's prowess as a classical musician:

{{block quote|Despite her early cultivation in the Carnatic tradition, her delivery of Hindustani Music bears no trace of the linguistic and stylistic barriers that divides India's south from the north. Her intonation of Hindustani melodies is authentic, and her diction in the enunciation of Hindi poetry, immaculate. The core of her music remains anchored to the melody-dominated music-making of the [[Kirana Gharana]] along with its architecture. In superficial aspects, however, her khayals exhibit, the influence of her brief [[Patiala]] exposure. Her musical mind has also acquired some tendencies not traceable to obvious influences. Guha has painstakingly absorbed two substantially different traditions and has mastered the subtleties of the various genres associated with each tradition. Her music exhibits a conviction, that comes from knowing precisely, what she is doing and why.<ref name="Khayal Vocalism: Continuity Within Change">{{cite web | url=http://swaratala.blogspot.fr/2008/12/purva-and-puriya-kalyan-whats.html | title=Khayal Vocalism: Continuity Within Change | publisher=Khayal Vocalism: Continuity Within Change | date=2 January 2014}}</ref>}}

In 1995, the Central Production Centre of [[Doordarshan]] made a documentary, ''Ek Mulakat'' on the life of Guha.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /> She has also recorded for the [[Sangeet Natak Akademi]] and others such as MMY Music Foundation and [[HMV]].<ref name="University of Massachusetts" /><ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /><ref name="Lokvani" />

For the Sangeet Natak Academy and the national channels of AIR, Guha has recorded many performances. She has also sung fusion music with renowned musicians from abroad.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /> Her performance at the [[India Habitat Centre]], Delhi, in tandem with the double [[Grammy award]] winner, [[Robin Hogarth]],<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /> based on [[Sant Kabir]]'s music was a blend of Hindustani and African gospel music traditions.<ref name="Music has no barriers">{{cite web | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/Sumitra-Guha-Robin-Hogarth-bring-alive-Sant-Kabirs-music/articleshow/10554878.cms | title=Music has no barriers | publisher=TOI | date=31 October 2011 | access-date=15 November 2014}}</ref> She has also done a music series by name, ''Tribute to the Musical Saints of India'', was performed at various concerts in India.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /> She has worked on a research-based music project by name, ''OMKARA - The Sound of Divine Love'',<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.OmkaraDivineLove.com|title = OMKARA - The Sound of Divine Love}}</ref> Directed by Guinness World Record® holder [[Rupam Sarmah]], Grammy award winner [[Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt]] and others. Recently, she has introduced a new project "Musical Journey Towards Rising India". This project is in collaboration with internationally acclaimed Indian Classical musician [[Rupam Sarmah]], Co-Producer, award-winning singer, songwriter & Guinness World Record® holder who is based in California. Guha and [[Rupam Sarmah]] have represented India for Festival of India concerts in France (2018) organized by Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India, and Embassy of India in Paris on the occasion of India's 70th Independence.

Guha founded the ''Sumadhur School of Performing Arts'' which continues to teach music in the traditional [[gurukula]] style.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /><ref name="Under Score Records" /> The primary purpose of such a system is the direct interaction between the Guru (teacher) and Shishya (disciple), a one-to-one association which forms a channel through which knowledge is imparted. This enables to create a wonderful environment and relationship between the guru and shishya.

==Awards and recognitions==
Guha has received many awards and honors starting from the gold medals she received from the [[Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam]] at Tirupati and from the All India Vaggeykar Utsavams at Bhadrachalam in 1972.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /><ref name="Lokvani" /> West Bengal Journalists Association awarded her the Best Vocalist of the Year prize in 1991 and a year later, she received the title ''Vidushi'', in 1995.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /><ref name="Lokvani" />

Many music and arts organizations have recognized her; Sangeet Kala Ratna from the Sangeet Kala Kendra, Agra in 1997, Best Music Teacher award from the Sangam Kala Group at the National Music Awards 2006, Pt. Gama Maharaj Smriti Samman in 2006, ''Rashtra Bhushan Samman'' from the Vishwa Jagriti Mission in 2007, DTA Excellence Award from the Delhi Telugu Academy in 2008, Mahandhra Excellence Award from the Telugu Employers’ Welfare Association (Delhi), Face Award in 2009, ''Naadbrahm Shiromani'' from Sangeetanjali, Mumbai in 2010, Sangeet Vibhuti Samman from the Gandhi Hindustani Sahitya Sabha and Sangeet Shree Award from the Art and Cultural Trust of India, in 2011 are some of the awards Guha has received during her career.<ref name="Maharishi Gandharva" /><ref name="Lokvani" />
