With the fervour of creativity running throught the family, Lopamudra Chakravoty was bound to grow up the way she did. Her love for music became noticeable quite early life, thanks to inspiration from the mother's side. Yet later, while going for a formal training in art, unhesitatingly she opted for modelling and sculpture, in view of father Debabrata Chakravorty enjoying much of a reputation as a sculptor on graduation from the Rabindra Bharati University in Calcutta, expectedly she began sculpting. But that hardly marked any break with music, since she now appeared more seriously involved with it winning high praises for the distinctive approach of hers.

While the earlier phase saw her receiving training in chhota kheyals and Rabindra Sangeet, subsequently in the wake of the young aspirant's hankering for something special relating to classical Hindustani music, she found herself placed under the tutelage of Guru Siva Sankar Mukhopadjyaya, an acknowledged exponent of the Gauharvanm singing.

As is known, the Dhrupad tradition an older and purer one, enjoys particular association with Maharaj Man Singh of Gwalior. For its abstracted connotations and less of lighter aspects noted in kheyal, this form is not as popular and calls for more strain in terms of acquiring skill. Women were discouraged from practising this music. The Guru, to good fortune of all, in the present case relented and accepted the girl student bypassing the idea, that the area was a privileged domain of males.

Courageous and determined Lopa as if made of sterner stuff, move on Regular riyaz or practice for long hours, amounted to sadhana or meditation and 'surrender', well on for years. The idealistic zeal and the acquired skill, luckily, did not go unnoticed. Her performances in response to invitations, both for solo programmes as also by way of participation in conferences, if duly brought for her acclaims, she also received words of encouragement and appreciation from experts and those who matter. She considers it a single honour when Pandit Ravi Shankar unable to come to a programme of hers due to busy schedule, but could spare some time to her certain renderings and in the end praised the endeavour. Surely something very significant for a young enterant in the field.
