" Child prodigies endure varied fates; the leap from prodigy to maestro is slippery... To meet a prodigy grown into a consummate musician, still child-like in his enthusiasm, is to meet Ravikiran", observed Folk Roots (London, 1998).

Ravikiran made a grand entrance into the music world at the age of two, in 1969 and has never looked back. He is one of the most visible ambassadors of Indian music and culture today. The substance and quality of Ravikiran's artistic contribution in the versatile roles of instrumental (chitravina) virtuoso, vocalist, composer, guru and orator are held in the highest regard across the world. An acclaimed genius, Ravikiran is the innovator of the world music concept, Melharmony. Besides, Ravikiran has also contributed substantially as a scholarly author, revolutionary thinker, philanthropist and entrepreneur. This website attempts to briefly chronicle Ravikiran's various facets and his passion for adding value to music and society.
