About Awards & Recognitions
Receiving the Chowdaiah National Award was a special highlight, but what truly matters is the journey behind it. From Malleshwaram stages to international festivals, I have spent decades dedicated to the Tarangini Veena, and seeing that commitment honoured by institutions like the Sree Ramaseva Mandali is deeply moving.
My musical journey has never just been about the performance; it has been about building a bridge between tradition and the modern audience. When I look at these plaques and certificates, I do not just see personal accolades. I see the fifty years spent at the Tarangini Arts Foundation, the countless hours of teaching, and the wonderful students who have gone on to build their own paths.
Being honoured by the Academy of Music for the Chowdaiah National Award, or celebrating the birth centenary of S.V. Narayanaswamye Rao with the Sree Ramaseva Mandali, reminds me of the support of my community. Music is not a solo endeavour, even for a solo artist. It is a shared energy. Whether it is a lecture-demonstration at a college in Bengaluru or an international festival stage, these recognitions serve as a reminder to keep pushing boundaries, keep learning, and keep the Carnatic tradition vibrant and alive for the next generation. I am so grateful to everyone who has been part of this wild, wonderful, musical ride!!!!!!!!
