Parimal was exposed to Indian Classical Music at the tender age of three, when his mother was pursuing the degree of Sangeet Visharad. Even at that age, he surprised everyone by being able to identify several ragas while listening to radio programmes or live concerts. In his early years his mother Suman Sadaphal, groomed him in handling an instrument as delicate as a sitar. On seeing his talents, the great sitar Maestro, Pt. Ravi Shankar advised that since he was too young at that time, Parimal should be started formal training in playing the sitar from the age of seven and suggested that he be trained under one of his senior disciples, Shri Balwant Rai Verma in Delhi.
