List of Carnatic Music Titles

Post by sivachinta1965 »

Dear Rasikas

Can somebody provide the list of Titles awarded to the Vidwans and Vidushis in Carnatic Music and the respeceive organisations offering these. For example, Madurai Mani Iyer has a title, Gana Sikhamani..... ?

Madurai Mani Iyer had the title Gana Kaladhara.

His guru Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar was Gayaka Sikhamani.

Ariyakkudi Ramanuja Iyengar was Sangeetha Rathnakara.

M S Subbulakshmi was Kokila Gana.

Any local Sabha could offer titles and maybe Older than Methuselah could tell us which were the sabhas who decided to decorate these artists.

Harimau,
At the rate in which sabhas hand out titles these days, musicians have to get their business (?) cards printed note-book size :) Of course, with the Padma awards mentioned first, and then the rest :)

Gana kaladhara still appeals to me a lot, and how it suits MMI!
