The Mangeshkar family (pronunciation: [maŋɡeːʃkəɾ]) is a prominent Indian family, headed by Deenanath Mangeshkar. The family is of Marathi and Konkani origin.

The father of this famous musical family, Deenanath Mangeshkar, was born on 29 December 1900 in the village of Mangeshi (then in Portuguese India) to a temple pujari and handmaiden of the deity Mangesh.^[1] His father, Ganesh Bhatt Navathe^[2] (Abhisheki), was a married Karhade Brahmin who served as pujari at the famous Mangueshi Temple in Goa, and his mother was Ganesh's mistress, Yesubai, belonging to Gomantak Maratha Samaj.^[1] Since Deenanath's parents were not married to each other, he did not inherit his father's Brahmin caste and surname.^[3] Deenanath Mangeshkar had five children with his Gujarati wife Shevanti, namely Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Usha Mangeshkar, Meena Khadikar and Hridaynath Mangeshkar.^[4]

Lata Mangeshkar was one of the best-known and most respected playback singers in India. She was never married. She was known as the Nightingale of India. She was conferred India's highest civilian award Bharat Ratna in 2001. She died on 6 February 2022.

They had three children and five grandchildren. The eldest of her three children, Hemant Bhosle (named after Hemant Kumar), spent most of his early years as a pilot and quit to have a brief career as a music director. Later he moved to Scotland, where he died in September 2015.^[5] Bhosle's daughter Varsha committed suicide on 8 October 2012. She was 56 years old and worked as a columnist for The Sunday Observer and Rediff.^[6]

Hemant died of cancer in 2015. Hemant's son Chaitanya Bhosle is a singer and has a few albums to his name.^[7]

Asha's first husband, Ganpatrao, was her personal secretary. Their marriage failed miserably in 1960. Her husband and in-laws mistreated her.
