Holi's Vanishing Voices: Iconic Singers Fade, 'Balam Pichkari' Star Disappears After Hit
•Many singers whose voices once defined Holi songs are now less visible in mainstream media.
•Anup Jalota, Malini Awasthi, Kalpana Patwari, Vinod Rathod, and Devendra Pathak, known for traditional Holi songs, are still active but lack previous mainstream popularity.
•Shalmali Kholgade, who sang the blockbuster 'Balam Pichkari' from 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', has largely disappeared from the public eye.
•Despite their reduced visibility, their songs remain popular, especially for traditional Holi celebrations.
•The shift in Bollywood music trends and emergence of new singers are cited as possible reasons for their anonymity.
