National awards ceremony postponed at Sree Rama Seva Mandali

The evening is scheduled to have a string of events at the Fort High School grounds.

The annual S.V. Narayanaswamy Rao memorial National awards are to be presented to the senior vocalist T.N. Seshagopalan and flutist N. Ramani.

The mangala vadyam recital scheduled at 4.15 p.m. is not on till 6 p.m. as we reach the venue. We see the senior nadaswaram vidwan Vyasarpadi Kothandaraman just arriving along with his team.


After a while, the arti is performed to the Sri Rama image and the nadaswaram recital begins.
No signs of the guests and awardees at the pandal.

S.N. Varadaraj, the general secretary of the mandali informs us that both the awardees of the evening, N.Ramani and T.N. Seshagopalan are unwell and undergoing treatment at different places. The award ceremony is postponed to another day, yet to be decided.

Vyasarpadi Kodandaraman begins with a varnam and moves on to Mayamalavagowla. It is time for us to catch up with a young artiste at Seshadripuram. We moved.
