Ustad Bismillah Khan's ancestral home in Dalmandi, Varanasi. Where his family lives. He has also got Padma Vibhushan Award for him, but he has consumed termites.
The family said that after the departure of Abba everything changed. Now nobody asks us. Dada got the Padma Vibhushan award, but today there is no cost to him. She has eaten a termite. In his room, he still kept his shoe, umbrella, telephone, chair, lamps, spoon utensils. Even after getting recognition in the radio, a program was not found in the radio for 5 years. Grandson Nasir says, the situation of the house is such that we can not imagine how the family's stomachs are kept. There is no revenue stream. There is one or two programs in a year. That money ends in a month. Their grandchildren say that in the days of childhood, an American merchant had come to meet Varanasi to meet Abba. He told Abba that take whatever money you need, but come along with America. Abba had the answer that if there is a mother, Ganga will be there, take the Ganges, then I will go.
