When he was 15 he won his first national prize and continued his studies at Annamalai University. His teachers there were very famous: Shri Tiger Varadachariar, Shri K.S. Narayanaswami and Shri V.S. Gomathi Aiyar. In 1940, he started on a professional carreer: he has given by now nearly 1500 concerts around India and numerous concerts for the "National Programme" or the "Sangeet Sammelan Programme", of All India Radio. He has received the title of "Shanmuga Vadivu" of the Music Academy's festival (twice), the gold medal and the title of "Kalaimaamani" from the Sangeet Natak Academi. A well known teacher (he has trained many generations of musicians, as well as his two sons), he is now a member of Annamalai's Faculty of Arts. As a composer, he has created numerous Varnam, jawali and even a raga, Vasantha Kaisiki.
