Pavit works magic on percussions and is a vital binding force for the band. Kutumba was born when 'the guys' got together at Pavits' shop one day and decided that after playing together for Sukhrabar (a monthly music event at the Patan Museum) all those evenings, they needed to come up with their own band. They were all keen to develop Nepali folk music and extend its reach to their generation of young Nepalis. Pavit started playing the Madal since he was a child, but it was only after class 12 and a friends' influence that he decided to play music professionally. It was then that he picked up the keyboards and has since moved on to playing in big events such as Shikhar tours, Kantipur TV, Taal, Shukrabar and more. Besides Kutumba, Pavit manages his shop, teaches keyboard at Shuvatara School and loves to paint.
