The Bombay Sisters, C. Saroja and C. Lalitha, are a renowned Indian Carnatic music duo celebrated for their synchronised singing and authentic classical presentations. Emerging as prominent figures in Indian classical music since the late 1960s, their dedication to the Carnatic tradition has been unwavering. The sisters hail from Chennai, originally named Bombay in English, which contributed to their stage moniker. They were initially trained by H.A.S. Mani and later honed their skills under the tutelage of Musiri Subramania Iyer, a stalwart of Carnatic music. Their training under him refined their music further, embellishing it with his nuanced bhava (expression) and exacting adherence to classicism.

Over the years, the Bombay Sisters have become synonymous with divinity in music through their devotional and classical renditions. They have an extensive catalog of works to their name, traversing various aspects of Carnatic music such as kritis, devotional albums, and thematic compilations. Their recent releases like "Shrinivasa Vaibhava" and "Devi Stothra Maala" reflect their mastery in devotional pieces, while "Sri Thyagaraja Pancharatna Krithis - Vol - III" underscores their command over the traditional Carnatic repertoire. The duo's rendition of "Popular Annamacharya Krithis" showcases their versatility and skill in bringing the lyrics to life. In recognition of their contributions, the Bombay Sisters have been conferred numerous awards and accolades, and their music continues to inspire both connoisseurs and casual listeners, cementing their status as doyennes of the Carnatic music genre.
