With your ring and little finger, close the corresponding holes half way until the prathimadyamam is sounded.

Please do not treat this answer as a substitute for learning this properly from a teacher. As is the norm with CM, there are raga specific subtle things involved, especially kalyani, so knowing the finger position of the swarasthanam is just the beginning.

Hello Subbarathnam,

I am not aware of a female flute teacher in that area. But my flute master (male, though) is from BTM Layout. If interested, I can give the details. He may also be able to assist you in locating a female flute teacher.
