==Early life==
Hande was born in the village of Umbraj in [[Pune]] in a family of [[Varkari]]. From childhood he had a liking for [[Bhajan]], Bhadur, Ovya, [[Tamasha]] etc. Later, his family moved to Mumbai and Hande grew up in Rangari Badak Chawl in Lalbaug, which had 16 buildings and 10,000 residents.

He saw [[Vasudeva|Vasudev]] (a dervish announcing the arrival of dawn) visiting homes in early morning, people going for ''khandoba jaagar'' (staying up through the night in devotion of Lord [[Khandoba]]) which helped him to learn folk music. In college, as part of the NSS (National Social Service) group, Hande walked over 100 km through the tribal areas of [[Vangani]] where he learned their music. In school days, he was actively involved in local Ganesh Utsav, Navratri Utsav, Kho-kho and other sports and cultural activities.
