The Hindu has published a review of a book on Temple Music instruments of Kerala.
‘Temple Musical Instruments of Kerala,' written by the late L.S. Rajagopalan, which was recently published in English by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, is a well-researched compilation of articles on Kerala's indigenous musical instruments says the comment.
