About Us

This site is a humble dedication by Bhargavi Balasubramanian, to the master-composer, Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi, following the inspiration she drew from her guru, Shri Chitravina N Ravikiran, who has researched and championed the works of Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi for many years. 

A lot of information on this site has been drawn from the two publications of International Foundation for Carnatic Music (A unit of Ravikiran Foundation of India) - Oottukadu Venkata Kavi (Life & Contributions), Saptaratnas & Navavaranams of Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi. 

This site aims to share available facts (with relevant A/V presentations) about Venkata Kavi along with logical and artistic inferences based on internal evidence from the composer’s works that have been studied and researched upon till date.
