About Saanidhya

Saanidhya was created from a deeply felt need — the need to hold close the music that has quietly shaped our memories, our language and our emotional world. Kannada Sugama Sangeetha has always been more than a genre; it is the warmth of familiar words, the comfort of melody, the gentle companionship of poetry. Yet, its stories and the people who built it have long been scattered across distant pages and forgotten corners. Saanidhya is an attempt to gather them with love, so no seeker of this music ever feels lost.

Within this space, the journey of Sugama Sangeetha — its birth, growth and changing rhythms — unfolds softly. The poets who wrote its soul, the composers who gave it wings, and the singers who carried it into our hearts are remembered here with gratitude. This website is also a tender salute to every individual who has held Sugama Sangeetha close and worked to uplift it — the devoted writers, poets, singers, composers whose faith kept the music alive even when recognition was scarce.
