The Rajam Centenary Committee is hosting in Chennai the centenary celebrations of Sangita Kala Acharya S. Rajam on February 8, 2019 from 4 p.m. onwards at The Music Academy, TTK Road, Chennai.
Rajam was a multi-faceted artiste best known by rasikas and artistes as the artist who gave life to the images of the Carnatic music trinity.
