Kirtidan Gadhvi is a Gujarati dayro and folk singer from Valvod in Anand district. He was born on 23 February 1975. Fans call him Dayro Samrat. A Kirtidan night is a dayro first: a long set, a chorus the hall already knows, and garba when the season asks for it.

The song that took him to a national studio was Laadki, recorded in April 2015 for MTV Coke Studio with Sachin-Jigar, Tanishka Sanghvi and Rekha Bhardwaj. Other titles audiences ask for by name are Nagar Me Jogi Aaya and Gori Radha Ne Kaalo Kaan. He also sang Kaan Tari Re with Aishwarya Majmudar in Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate.

In 2019 Morari Bapu presented him the Kavi Kag Award. He is a regular headliner of Ahmedabad Navratri, including Norta Nagari. His site is kirtidan.com.

Laadki is the Coke Studio piece. Nagar Me Jogi Aaya and Gori Radha Ne Kaalo Kaan are the dayro songs the Gujarat audience already had. Kaan Tari Re is the film credit with Aishwarya Majmudar. The live programme mixes a dayro lyric, a santvani, then a Navratri garba with the chorus left open.

Kirtidan Gadhvi's ticketed work is a dayro, not a short garba slot. Fans call him Dayro Samrat. The songs a sabha expects are Laadki, Nagar Me Jogi Aaya and Gori Radha Ne Kaalo Kaan. In Navratri he is a regular Ahmedabad headliner, including Norta Nagari, and the same night can close with a garba chorus.

He also sings Kaan Tari Re with Aishwarya Majmudar from Laalo. A listed Kirtidan date on this page is the city, the ground and the ticket.
