Chennai’s Carnatic musicians walk the ramp | The Hindu

[@unni_venugopal_danseur]

This not only included the stalwarts of Carnatic music, but also the legends in Indian classical dance too! Have a glimpse at Padukka, Vyjayathimala Ma'am! I suppose it's better to rename the video as 'Chennai's Art fraternity walks the ramp!'

[@shyamnagarmat6678]

Has Carnatic Music shifted from listening & being enthralled to seeing & being enthralled ???

[@janibalu]

Happy to see them all in beautiful costumes.Blessed legends

[@SaiSwaroop12345]

Nice to see richness in each one. But how many artsites regularly donate money to Saint thyagaraja, Dikshitar samadhi every month? Those great saints samadhi really looks sad with very minimal development and sometimes no money to even perform daily pooja. Without them where is this name, fame and so much richness?

[@varshasubramanian5695]

Well said. Hailing from a carnatic music background , I lost all respect for the carnatic fraternity seeing all the flamboyance and fanfare surrounding them. Carnatic music is going to be limited to the elite few and it will not expand if this is going to continue

[@subramanianramamoorthy3413]

Dear Musicians It is ironical to see while Chennaites walk on rain water , Great carnatic musicians dress up and walk on Ramp for first time

[@SIGILI]

You can ask the same to your politicians buddy!!

[@SIGILI]

@@subramanianramamoorthy3413 but buddy they are the ones who have given permissions to build the roads on encroachments due to which there is recurring flooding.

@ravisigili Dear Sir Ji Ramp walk by musicians is untimely because when people suffer by walking on road,with knee dip water. We are talking about impact of rain and impact of ramp walk. Alternatively, there are lot of musicians who help needy at times of people facing difficulty due to nature. When people suffer to walk, musicians could have been sympathetic to people who are rasikas. To share pain is support of musicians instead of probing the unresolved causes.

[@subramanianramamoorthy3413]

@@BadassBikerOwns Dear Guru Ji That is the reason Carnatic music is limited,use in limited circle. Many carnatic musicians need to come out of that uni directional thinking. Audience for carnatic music is very small and even when those suffer ,the musicians need to be concerned about people , the rasikas wellness. World will not accept celebration when their own people are in natural crisis, like that happened in Covid. We need to use our sense and time the events. All events are good but the timing of events matter. Open your heart and mind so that the world will open everything for you. All need to be empathetic at times of untold misery, crisis and issues

It's horrible to see them walk like this.Are they models.is it necessary.Bollywoods impact clearly seen in Arunas makeup.Hindu pape r is not for Hindus.LOST RESPECT

Wrong timing of event.Pl understand

[@vidyaramani1408]

Nothing wrong in the ramp walk.. the musicians have a right to enjoy... But this is not the time... when the whole city is struggling.. Unable to come to terms with the loss of life and property of fellow Chennaites😢

[@narayanr267]

Lovely initiative - should definitely help popularise the art as well 😊

[@aparnak1763]

Hope our music will reach great heights again🎉🎉

There could be other violin artists too...Chennai is never short of numbers when it comes to lady instrumentalists...

[@kodisnaidoo8110]

To all South Indian Artists who enjoyed this fun event ....please maintain the Class and Tradition. It is extremely important for the future Society. Our Seniors have to set examples for youth to follow. Its sad to see shows on TV where South Indian female presenters dress western.No need

[@harithagotla3848]

Odd thing is anti Hindu newspaper The Hindu is sponsoring Sanatani Carnatic musicians. I am not sure whoever walked the ramp know this fact or not. It is sad that Newspaper with name The Hindu is anti Hindu.

[@lifeisbeautiful7824]

The audience for live programs are sharply declining.May be ,people cant sit for a 2 hour concert any more.

[@jayajayakumar4474]

Wow

[@uppulurivenkata]

Ramp walk is just for models.So------------- these people are also in that category

[@sravanigollapudi3668]

Please do it in Andhra Pradesh😍

[@neelagovindaraj5933]

Very sad to see classical musicians do something so silly. It is bad enough to see them decked up on stage pretending to be in some 'rasa', with no real devotion. They play to the gallery and sure, this seems to suit them.

[@uppulurivenkata]

It would be better to give a different name.. Hope their interest does not get diverted for this show and fame.

Morally repulsive. What/where was the need for this? Was it a fund raiser for a noble cause? Doesn’t seem like it. I’d love to stand corrected. Kudos to the artists who declined the invite on principle.

Ok...it is under anti_hindu paper group??..naturally it always tries to spoil our culture

[@musichealsthesoul514]

These artists doesn't know to perform properly carnatic music on stage. But well-versed in fashion show. When they unanticipatedly receive million dollars & space for ramp walk with dazzling costumes who would say no ?? 😂 Chennai & Tirunelveli floods are least bothering for them. The cost involved in this event could have used for promoting young talents from different states. But these greedy artists won't allow the organizers to do so

[@arno557]

🤦‍♂️ the whole city is suffering and these idiots doing something else

[@SaadhanaGurukul]

Please understand that this event was organised and executed days before the cyclone hit Chennai. without knowing the facts, calling musicians names is not right.

There are many great things we can learn from the West, but not this.
