Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande (* 1960) is a outstanding Hindustani classical music vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana. Ashwini is an artiste of immense public acclaim earning high praise from discerning critics and music lovers all over the globe. Her musicianship is characterized by a blend of tonal sweetness coupled with vitality and emotion and raga structure-architecture. Her raga delineation shows an unerring grasp over the grammar of the raga yet maintaining a soulfulness in her singing.

Her fluency in Sanskrit enriches her repertoire further by inclusion of stotras/stutis.
