When in1977 postgraduate studies in music were started for the first time in government colleges of Rajasthan, it was for Mrs. Chandra Kala Sharma to have the honour of becoming the first head of Postgraduate department of music in Meera Girls College, Udaipur. Music for Chandrakala is a matter of long family tradition for several generations. She is the daughter of the renowned Sindhi musician and musicologist Pandit Brahmanand Goswami of Jaipur.

Prevailed heredity and family environment gave her that depth and subtlety in music in childhood which generally remains unattainable after several years of hard practice. Even at an early age of 13 years in 1946 her performance before an audience of several thousands drew great acclaim for her in All India Music Conference at Gaya where great veterans like Pandit Onkar Nath Thakur, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan were present.
