Charulatha Mani

Charulatha Mani is a versatile Carnatic vocalist and composer known for blending South Indian classical traditions with innovative cross-genre experiments. With a foundation in rigorous Carnatic training, she's carved a niche by reimagining classical ragas through unexpected collaborations – from Baroque-era compositions ("Monteverdi Reimagined") to spiritual bhajans ("Gratitude Ragas") and educational projects ("Learn Ragas with Charulatha Mani"). Her recent releases showcase her range: devotional Tamil works ("15 Tamizh Creations on Gomathi Ambal"), meditative Sanskrit hymns ("Saundarya Lahari"), and even explorations blending philosophy with music ("That Which is Truth").

Beyond performance, she champions music education through workshops and her signature raga-learning series. Her albums often serve dual purposes – preserving tradition while making it accessible, whether through Anandabhairavi raga reinterpretations ("Kyrie Anandabhairavi") or contemporary devotional tracks like "Tvameva." This balance of reverence and experimentation has made her a distinctive voice in India's classical fusion scene.
