Founder's Vision

“Music has the ability to bring people together and create a common platform that transcends boundaries and differences. Both Shibu and I have an inclination towards Indian Classical Music, and it is our admiration for heritage and culture that sowed the seed for Sangamam a couple of years ago. Through this initiative, we aim to reach out to art admirers who are inspired by the richness of Indian Music and Dance forms.”

Through the three prominent and presiding Deities of this Kshetram – Kamakshi,Ekambreshwarar and Varadaraja, the concept of Srishti, Sthiti and Pralaya are juxtaposed through a representation in Kolams written by Ramaa to bring out the similarities of the essence of the imagery.
