Mumbai will host a two-day tribute for legendary Nadaswaram artist T N Rajarathinam Pillai, who would have turned 128 on Saturday, as 56 young musicians gather to honor his legacy. The event, held at Shanmukhananda Hall in King's Circle, commenced with a concert led by Shanmukha Rathna Vyasarpadi Kothandaraman, showcasing 50 young fellowships artistes performing in unison. Chief guest S Ramesh, the Tamil Nadu Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, attended the program.
Sunday's festivities will feature a procession of the 56 young Nadaswaram artistes, who will perform at a temple before embarking on a march towards Shanmukhananda Hall at 7.30am, playing the traditional instrument along the way. Nadaswaram enthusiast K A Vishwanathan expressed hope that favorable weather conditions would allow for the successful completion of the procession, as rain has previously disrupted such events.
At 10am, the young musicians will be honored at the same venue, receiving the Shanmukhananda Nadaswara Chakravarthy T N Rajarathinam Pillai Fellowship from Minister Ramesh. This tribute serves not only to celebrate the illustrious past of the Nadaswaram maestro but also to ensure the continuation of its rich tradition among a new generation of musicians.
