My name is Sushant Kakkeri, nephew of Samrat Kakkeri, a cherished tabla artist and loving father who tragically passed away in a car accident on July 20, 2025, near Middletown, California.

We’re raising funds to cover memorial rituals and funeral expenses for Samrat, whose vibrant performances in India and the USA (Adi Da ashram) inspired countless lives. Remaining funds will support his 10-year-old daughter, Sanvi, ensuring her education and care as she faces a future without her father. Every contribution honors Samrat’s legacy and secures Sanvi’s well-being. Thank you for your generosity.
