Giriraj Prasad's training in folk and classical music and an unusual mixture of strength and sweetness in his voice made him gain eminence. Unmatched in lavani singing, he also has a distinctive style of rendering the chaubola metre, imitated by younger performers. He made efforts to revive and vitalize the form, and became director of a troupe set up by the Braj Kala Kendra at Hathras. Giriraj Prasad also participated in the Nautanki-based production of Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena's Bakri or 'She-goat' in 1973 at the National School of Drama. This article is a stub.
