Watched the live streaming of the contest today which was conducted in two categories of (age groups)of 20-30 and below 20 for Nagaswaram and Tavil separately. Excellent participation by enthusiastic candidates.

Results were duly announced. 3 prizes in each category. Prizes will be distributed at a special function on 14 April at Music academy.

And Pranaams to the Senior Nagaswara and Tavil Vidwans (judges)who conducted the contests so well and with great passion and constantly encouraging the contestants.
It was educative too - a lot of valuable and interesting information on the Melam and artists of yore were shared by the veteran vidwans.
Congratulations to Brahma Gana Sabha and Parivadini and all those concerned with the event for the unique initiative.

Lalitharam,
What you have done is an astounding achievement . None of us know the names of the future nagaswaram and tavil artists. Your encouragement is so long term and not many will do what you have done . Kudos.
