Fondly remembered as SKR, this principal disciple of the Legend G.N.Balasubramaniam, evolved his own Baani which effectively synthesised GNBs niche and his own multi faceted Manodharma . SKR was a master in laya algorithm as well as swara raaga bhaavam. Fast with precision and clarity is the hallmark of SKRs cascading brigaas, neravals and sangathis which added a special sheen to his Baani. SKRs invaluable contribution to the world of carnatic music took the form of compositions born as his brain children. The gamut of Kriti renditions, creation of Panchama Varjitha Dvimadhyama Raagaas, Thillanas, tuning the Ashtapathis with Hindustani flavour, songs of Guru Surajanandha as also N. S. Chidambaram and so on are a veritable boon to the carnatic music fraternity.
