Even in his formative years, he had the opportunity to learn classical music under the guidance of Chetnath Sharma. This mentorship refined the innate talent he possessed.

He pursued his formal education at various institutions, including Padmodaya High School (Kathmandu), Adarsha Vidhyalaya (Biratnagar), and Bijaya Memorial High School (Kathmandu).
