Padyana Ganapathi Bhat, a renowned Yakshagana bhagavatha (singer-cum-director), was born in Padyana to a family of Havyaka Brahmins who were artists.
Coming from a distinguished family of Yakshagana artists, Bhat's artistic legacy was deeply rooted in tradition. His father, Tirumaleshwar Bhat, was a maddale player, and his grandfather, Puttu Narayana, was also a bhagavatha. He received his training from the late Mambady Narayana Bhagavatha and began his performance career at the young age of 15, after completing his primary education.
Throughout his illustrious career spanning more than four decades[1], Bhat established himself as a leading bhagavatha of the Tenku Thittu school of Yakshagana. His remarkable contribution to the art form included voicing over 1,500 Yakshagana-related CDs[2]. He performed with numerous prestigious Yakshagana melas, including Chowdeshwari, Kundavu, Surathkal, Mangaladevi, Karnataka, Edneer, Hosanagara, and Hanumagiri. Notably, he maintained a 26-year association with the Mahammayi Yakshagana Mandali of Surathkal.[3]
Bhat was particularly known for his linguistic versatility, being equally proficient in both Tulu and Kannada languages. He often incorporated Tulu songs into his performances, adding a unique regional flavor to his art. His performances took him beyond national boundaries to international stages in Kuwait and Muscat, as well as major Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
His contributions to Yakshagana were widely recognized, earning him several prestigious accolades including the Dakshina Kannada Rajyotsava award, the Malpe Shankaranarayana Samaga Prashasthi, and the distinguished title of 'Yaksharathna'. He remained active in performances [4] until about three years before his passing, retiring around 2020.
