The composer of the varnam I am performing for my arangetram is SMT Ranganayaki Jayaraman. The varnam is called "Velanai kanbom vaareer". Can anyone tell me more about the composer? I don't know much about her.
Thanks
Valli

If i am not mistaken Smt Ranganayaki Jayaraman is from Chennai. She runs (or is presently in-charge) a dance/music/veena school called 'saraswathi gana nilayam' in Triplicane.

I am told she can sing, dance and also play on the veena. Though, havent seen her performing. well, this could actually be a different Ranganayaki Jayaraman, i am not sure.

Thanks for the info. I think you've got the right Ranganayaki Jayaraman.
