Was this why you shared that note from TNR to Sh. Rangantha Achari complementing him for the nagaswarams he had made yesterday?
Aum Shanti. Condolences.

Hi Rajesh,
1. There are a few other nagaswaram makers who live in Narasingampettai. They were working on a GI certification for the nagaswaram . Not sure if that is done.
2. Selvaraj was 58.
3. His elder son is in a different profession. His younger son used to help him out. If I am not wrong - he has a brother working in the same profession.

The GI application is still under 'Examination'.
Please check item No.1 under 'Document Details', wherein the amended August 2020 application with more than 90 pages of (interesting!) documents, photographs, articles & news items can be found!
