With immense pride and gratitude, we revisit this unforgettable moment from the Raagalaya Music Awards 2009, where Aravind Kuttikrishnan was honoured by the legendary S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. A blessing from one of India’s greatest musical icons, this remains a treasured chapter in our Raagalaya family.
Since 2004, Raagalaya has been more than a music competition—it has been a stage where dreams find their voice, talent is nurtured, and excellence is celebrated. Every year, we are privileged to honour senior musicians and distinguished artists whose contributions have enriched the world of music, while also encouraging the next generation of performers to pursue their passion.
Watching Aravind Kuttikrishnan grow from a dedicated young participant into the accomplished musician he is today has been a journey filled with pride, joy, and countless memorable performances. Moments like these remind us why Raagalaya was created—to discover talent, inspire excellence, and celebrate every step of a musician’s journey.
This photograph is more than an award presentation; it is a testament to years of hard work, unwavering dedication, and the blessings of music itself.
May this beautiful journey continue to inspire many more young artists, and may the legacy of music live on through every voice that graces the Raagalaya stage.
With pride, love, and endless best wishes to Aravind Kuttikrishnan. ✨🎼
