GURUVAYUR DORAI

   
Having trained under stalwarts like Palghat Subba Iyer and Palani Subramanyam Pillai, Dorai is one of the top mridangists in the field today. He made his debut at the tender age of 8, when he accompanied the doyen Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar. Since then there has been no looking back for Dorai. He has been featured in several international festivals and has accompanied artistes of three generations owing to his adaptive technique. Adept at playing the Khanjira too, he has trained several worthy disciples.
