Truly blessed by Saint Thyagaraja...!!!










TMC's thyagaraja  aaradhana celebration went on very well. Maharajapuram Sri.Ramachandran was felicitated by Sri.S.Bashyam(Secretary -TMC). This was followed by the rendition of pancharatha krithis by senior artists like Dr.N.Ramani, Prof.T.R.Subramanian, Sri.T.K.Govinda Rao, Bombay Sisters - C.Saroja & C.Lalitha, Geetha Rajasekhar, Guruvaayur Sri.Dorai, Maadirimangalam Sri.Swaminathan, Sirgaazhi Sri.Jayaraman & many others. 

Annadhanam was arranged to all the visitors. TMC takes pleasure in thanking the people who sponsored for it.

Sri. C.A.Rajasekhar & his 30 disciples presented a violin concert which was a usual program during our uthsavam.

Few changes were to be made in the agenda due to various reasons. Sri.T.V.Ramprasath presented an interesting thematic concert - "Ramanayana in  the eyes of Thyagaraja". The audience enjoyed the rare krithis rendered by him.

Master T.Kalaimagan(grandson of 'Villisai Vendhar' Subbu Aarumugam) also presented a pleasing concert for an hour.

Master.M.Balamurali Krishna also gave a wonderful one hour concert. The grand finale was marked by Dr.N.Ramani by his flute concert. He was accompanied by Sri.S.D.Sridhar(Violin), Guruvayur Sri. Dorai(Mridangam) & Sri.Prasanna(Ghatam).

Aanjaneyar uthsavam took place to end the program well.

Thanks to all the artists & well-wishers for making the aaradhana a grand success.......!!!!
