Please include Dr. Vedavalli's songs in musicindiaonline. Without Dr. Vedavalli's songs, the website is incomplete as far as senior female vidhwans are concerned. She is unique and completely different from M.S, M.L.V and D.K.P. in terms of both scholar iness and performance. Above all, she is a great teacher and the one & only educationist and researcher of carnatic music. I congratulate her and her website.

Nice to see Smt. R.vedavalli on the net. Have been listening to her music for several years and have especially enjoyed her renditions of neraval and taanam. Have also been fortunate to hear her week long workshop, called Pratyusha, on all the aspects of arnatic Music, conducted by Spic Macay in Chennai several years back. Hope the page takes off and we benefit more from her wisdom and scholarship.

Liked your site and that of Smt Vedavalli's. Great stuff. Keep it going... BTW, it is quite unfair to ask one for a SINGLE favourite ragam. You could ask your respondents to list their favourite ragam-s!! Ditto composers!
