Lakshman Sruthi Orchestra

The Lakshman Sruthi Orchestra was the first orchestra to carry out a 36-hour non-stop light music performance on 17–18 December 1994 at Kamarajar Arangam in Chennai, setting a world record in the process. The performance was inaugurated by Padmashree Dr. K. J. Yesudas and watched by an audience of 24,000 people. This audience included M. S. Viswanathan, T. K. Ramamoorthy, Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja, Shankar–Ganesh, Gangai Amaran, Isai Puyal, A. R. Rahman, T. Rajendar, R. Pandiarajan and Ramarajan.

As well as performing its own shows, the Lakshman Sruthi Orchestra also put on a show with the well-known playback singers Dr. K. J. Yesudas and Dr. S. P. Balasubramanyam performing together in Paris, France. This same combination was promoted all over the world, with a total of 14 stage shows so far.

At another time, a show made up of film music from the Carnatic music tradition was organized. This was presided over by N. S. K. Vaidhyanathan, Kadri Gopalnath, Nithyashree Mahadevan and Sowmya.

On 4 August 1996, a show was held for women only in Chennai at the Kamarajar Arangam.

The orchestra has frequently been involved in devotional music. For the last 14 years, they have performed completely devotional concerts, with free admission, especially for Ayyappan devotees.

In addition, the orchestra has performed large-scale gala shows in many countries around the world. These include Australia, France, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Canada and Denmark.
