In the midst of election campaigning, had the opportunity to meet Thiru Ramesh Vinayakam Ji and his family in Chennai. Ramesh Ji is a music composer and has devoted his life to popularising Indian music. He gave me a glimpse of his work in making the Gamaka Box Notation System. This is an innovative way to take Indian music to the world!

It’s not just a photo . It’s a tradition associated with temples & devotees . After Pooja it’s a tradition from ages to sit together before exiting from a temple . It’s as essential as Namaskaram & Pradakshinam. @BJP4India
