“This is an event for people who have a keen interest in Indian classical music. They can learn about the legendary Narayanaswamy Rao, who was known as a music phenomenon,” said Ramprasad, the managing trustee of Sree Ramaseva Mandali.The guests expected to attend the event include Dinesh Gundu Rao (Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Karnataka), Krishna Byre Gowda (Minister for Revenue), and S T Somashekhar (MLA, Yeshwanthpura), among others.

The hall is not only a tribute to the great musician but also a testament to his impact on Indian classical music. In addition to serving as a hub for teaching and learning, the hall will play host to workshops and seminars.
