Udupi, Nov 14: Sheikh Jaleel Saheb, a resident of Kaup, who used to play Nagaswara instrument during fairs of Kaup new Marigudi temple, died of cardiac arrest on Monday. He was known as the ‘Epitome of Communal Harmony’.

The 54-year-old had gone out of his house with the Nagaswara instrument. As he sat to have a cup of tea in a hotel, he suffered cardiac arrest. Though he was rushed to the hospital, he breathed his last.

Jaleel Saheb is survived by wife, daughter, brother and scores of his fans. Though Jaleel Saheb belonged to a Muslim family, he used to serve Hindu Gods in temple. He used to play Nagaswara during Kola ad Ashlesha Bali rituals also.

Jaleel Saheb continued the tradition of playing Nagaswara that he got from his father Baban Saheb and grandfather Imam Saheb. He was playing Nagaswara for the last 40 years.

    Jaleel ‘s is my school mate unfortunately his father dismmed during his school time there was no option left for him to continue his education. He took forward his father legacy and left school and started nagaswara player. Jaleel’s daughter and my daughter both are Madarasa ( Muslim religious school) mate in kaup Masjid.

    Sheikh Jaleel Saheb is a familiar face to most of Kapu residence & surrounding area. His ever smiling face and friendly nature is un-forgetful. I have seen him & his father Baban Saheb playing Nagaswara in almost every event of Marigudi, Kola & other religious events. “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

    RIP Jaleel Sir....40 years of service is truly amazing.... very rare...most people don't stay on for more than 2-3 years...great to know about the faimily tradition and commitment. May god give his family the strength to overcome this loss.

    there might not be a single instance the other way round...always people like Bismillah khan, Alla rakha, zakir hussain and Jaleel saheb have put step forward to maintain communal harmony....but still the community is seen with suspicious eyes by andh bhakts..

    More asians are being put into the tent because their men don't trust them. No accress to education for Muslim women. The world is lead by many women from other communities, you see them in every corporates from parsi, christain and hindus communities.
