The dedication of nadaswaram exponent Sheik Chinna Moulana to his craft and in initiating others into the traditional art form to ensure its longevity was a true mark of his greatness, said former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu.
“Over centuries, our temples have nurtured art forms of dance and music through the bhakti tradition. Sheik Chinna Moulana came from a family that has promoted the art of the nadaswaram for more than 300 years. Truly, he was a great son of this great nation,” said Mr. Naidu while speaking at the inauguration of the maestro’s birth centenary year celebration organised by the Dr. Chinnamoulana Memorial Trust (DCMT) in Tiruchi on Saturday.
Minister for Municipal Administration K.N.Nehru, and DCMT trustees S. Kasim and S. Babu were present.
