Re: Concert dedicated to Bangalore Nagaratnamma
She did not construct the Samadhi. The Samadhi was already there since 1847 January. Nagarathnamma built the shrine enclosing the Samadhi as also the Valmiki Mantapam to the east adjoining the Samadhi. Nagarathnamma's Samadhi itself is situated opposite to that of Thyagraja's.
