Sharda Sinha was often known as the ‘Bihar Kokila’ for her melodious voice. She received the Padma Shri Award in 1991 for her contribution to music. She was also honoured with the Padma Bhushan in 2018.
She has sung over 60 Chhath songs in her musical profession. Such was her cultural impact that Chhath Puja was said to be incomplete without her songs playing within the background.
