The 17th edition of the popular music programme Geeth Gaatha Chal... by the doctors and their family, yet again provided a grand musical treat to the music-lovers, at Kalamandira here last evening. Well-known Sugama Sangeetha artiste H.R. Leelavathi, who was the chief guest, was felicitated by industrialist Dr. M. Jagannath Shenoy, who has been sponsoring the programme since the last 17 years. Leelavathi, who spoke, said that this was the first time she was being honoured by the doctors fraternity and was a special feather in her cap. On the occasion, Dr. C. Umesh Kamath, who was the captain of Geeth Gaatha Chal... for 15 years, was conferred ‘Kala Poshaka Ratna Award.’ A citation presented to him on the occasion was read out by Dr. C.G. Narasimhan, Ganabharathi President. Sparsha Shenoy gave an invocation dance invoking the blessings of Lord Shiva.
