Mysuru: Veteran Hindustani singer, art critic and writer Dr. Manik A.V. Bengeri was conferred with ‘Kala Nandana’ title by Nandana Performing Arts Centre during its 18th Annual Nritya Nanda-2018 programme held at Ramabai Govind Rao Memorial auditorium in Ganabharathi recently.
Speaking after doing the honours, former Karnataka Nataka Academy Member and Sri Rajarajeshwari Vasthralankara Founder B.M. Ramachandra said that these days there are many incidents occurring which are inimical to the Guru-Shishya relationship. This will have an adverse impact on the student’s mind and learning and this should be set right. He lauded Dr. Bengeri for her contribution to music since several decades and said that it was very appropriate that she had been honoured.
