Hyderabad Sisters

The Hyderabad Sisters, Carnatic music's beloved vocal duo C. Saroja and C. Lalitha, have been enchanting audiences with their crystalline harmonies since the 1960s. Born into a musical family in Hyderabad, India (their father, violinist Chaturvedula Shivaramakrishna, nurtured their talents), the sisters became child prodigies, mastering complex compositions with remarkable synchronicity. Their seamless blend of technical precision and emotional depth made them icons of classical South Indian music, particularly celebrated for their renditions of Tyagaraja's timeless kritis and their mastery of intricate ragas.

With a career spanning over six decades, the duo has preserved Carnatic traditions while mentoring new generations of musicians. Their discography, including releases like *Masterpieces Of Tyagaraja* and *Raagaas Of South India Vol 3*, serves as a gateway to the genre’s richness. Honored with prestigious awards like the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, they remain revered not just for their flawless sruti alignment, but for radiating the joy of shared musical sisterhood.
