The Legend Dr BMK Grace Chintamani.

The 20th September, Sunday turned out to be a very special day in the history of Chintamani. The legendary Carnatic Musician Dr Balamuralikrishna graced the music lovers of Chintamani. Though it was his second visit to Chintamani(had visited Sri Brahmachaitanya Srirama Mandira in the year 2007),

this was the first time he enthraled his fans with his soulfull music. The concert will last in the memories of Chintamaniacs forever, especially his trademark Thillaana. The concert was arranged at SLN Theatre by Chintamani Gayana Samaja. Thanks to our own music Guru Sri. L.Y.Srinivasa Reddy who dreamt this day and fulfilled it, and celebrated with the hundreds of music lovers.

Earlier in the day, Dr BMK layed the foundation stone for the construction of a music college here in Nama Prabhakara Layout. The music college is yet another dream project of Sri L.Y.Srinivasa Reddy.Speaking on the occassion Dr BMK assured that he would lend his services to the music college. Mr Nama Prabhakar has generously donated a valuable site for this cause.
