Karukurichi N. Shashikiran

Shashikiran's talents were discovered when he was a toddler and nurtured by his father and guru 'Chitravina' Narasimhan. At two, he stormed the music world as a child prodigy who could identify Ragas, demonstrate complicated Talas and answer other technical questions pertaining to Carnatic music. He later had the privilege of learning from stalwarts like Sangita Kalanidhis T Brinda & T Vishwanathan and Calcutta K S Krishnamurthy.

'Chitravina' P. Ganesh

Ganesh mesmerized the world of Carnatic music at the tender of age of two-and-a-half, when he was able to identify and render around 225 Ragas and 175 Talas and answer numerous other technical questions with ease. He was trained by his maternal uncle, 'Chitravina' Narasimhan and cousin Ravikiran as a vocalist. He also had the privilege of learning from Sangita Kalanidhi T Brinda for a few years.
