	R Vedavalli : A Virtuoso to Revere
		Vedavalli is widely acknowledged as an expert musician adhering strictly to the sampradaya of classical Carnatic Music.
		Vedavalli is a recipient of many prestigious awards and titles including the titles of Divya Gana Pravina, Sangita Choodamani, Kalaimamani, Sangita Ratnakara and Gayaka kula Tilaka Kalpalata.
		It would be apt to conclude with the words of a connoisseur: "Vedavalli’s virtuosity is blessed with a matching scholarship of no mean order, a sparkling voice and high lakshaya gnanam, setting her a little apart even from the other greats in the field" [CV Krishna].

		The violinist M. Krishnaswamy, after completing his rendition, paid tribute to Vedavalli’s command of this raga by remarking that after several years of playing for her he was still learning its nuances.
