We propose to create a unique archive of over 1000 compositions and 100 raga alapanas rendered by Jeyaraaj and Jaysri on the Veena. This, we believe, will showcase the versatility and unlimited potential of the Veena. If there is one musical instrument that can replicate every intricacy and intonation of the human voice, it is the Veena. We endeavour to bring to the fore this underrated aspect of the instrument and preserve for posterity the Gayaki style of playing the Veena as the vainika couple have imbibed from their Gurus.

Veenavaadhini Sadhanalaya
We have set up the Veenavaadhini Sadhanalaya where we share our knowledge with students of music who are as passionate about the pure traditions of Carnatic music as we are. Classes are offered in Chennai as well as online for enthusiasts who do not live in Chennai. We also run workshops and lec-dems for various institutions.

Veenavaadhini Chamber Concerts
Chamber concerts are conducted with the idea of providing an accessible platform for all musicians, new and old, as well as creating an ambience in which like-minded musicians and music lovers can celebrate their common love for the best traditions of Carnatic music. The themed intimate chamber music concerts offer the closeness and one-on-one rapport between the artiste and audience that a concert hall cannot replicate.

Pilgrimage with Muthuswamy Dikshitar
We have undertaken to visit the provenance of Muthuswamy Dikshitar’s kritis. It is our desire to retrace Dikshitar’s journey, visit the temples that he visited, and render the kritis that he composed on the various deities enshrined therein. Dikshitar lovers are welcome to join us in this endeavor.
