Born in the ancient city of Pataliputra. Arup’s Talent in sitar blossomed initially under the tutelage of his mother Smt. Nilakshi Mukharjee and later from Late Arun Kumar Chatterjee. In August 1986, he was fortunate to be the disciple of Sarod Mastero Pandit Jotin Bhattacharya of Varanasi who has dedicated his life in performing and teaching very few students in the purest tradition of Indian Classical Music under his blessing.

Arup started his training in earnest by learning the basics of Sitar playing. Over the years of single minded Sadhana, he proved himself to be a talented artist to the sublime music of Maihar Gharana that perpetuates the sacred tradition of Mian Tansen.

Arup’s Sitar playing is characterized by the elaborate alapchari in dhrupad ang, the intricate laykari, the tarparans (Percussion patterns adapted to melodic instruments playing), the vast rag reperting, including the Jod characteristic of this school, and exotic talas.

He is the founder trustee of Baba Alluddin Khan Music Foundation.
