Ravi Shankar, who died on 11 December 2012, was a Bengali sitar player who did much to popularise Indian music, art and culture in the West. He is regarded as one of the greatest composers and performers of Indian classical music. This photograph was taken by Michael Peto during a performance in 1963.
