Our inspiration

Prof. V. Lakshminarayana

The centre was established in the name of Prof. V. Lakshminarayana, the father and guru of Dr. L. Subramaniam. Prof. V. Lakshminarayana was a visionary in the field of Indian music and was responsible for many of the innovations in music which are now in common practice. ​


He was responsible for bringing global recognition to Carnatic music and Indian classical violin in particular. ​


 Professor V. Lakshminarayana introduced various fingering and bowing techniques for the violin. The vigorous right-hand techniques, which he introduced and taught, intrigued some of the greatest violinists like Lord Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli when they heard Dr. L Subramaniam, his son. He was the first person to play varnams in five speeds, thus earning him the nickname of ‘Panchanadai’ Lakshminarayana. 

In light of his outstanding contribution as a musician, musicologist, teacher, and composer, the Government of India released a commemorative stamp in his honour in 2004. The State Governments of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh also released first day covers in his honour. There is also a street "Violin Lakshminarayana" in Alleppey, Kerala named after this great musical genius.
