Akkarai Sisters Subhalakshmi and Swarnalatha are among India’s most distinguished musicians today. Their soulful music won the hearts of the music lovers on the second day of 8th Cross Ganapathi music festival. The Sisters’ rich music background and the rigorous training under renowned gurus such as Sri Janakiraman, Padma Bhushan P.S. Narayanaswamy and Chitraveena N. Ravikiran have given them the unique distinction of being the foremost musicians in the field in both vocal music and violin.
