The Mambalam Sisters, Ranjani Sivakumar Siddareddy and Gayatri Sivakumar Siddareddy, are an illustrious Carnatic vocal duo known for their devotional and classical music renditions. Hailing from the culturally rich city of Chennai, formerly known as Madras, in Tamil Nadu, India, the sisters have carved a niche for themselves in the South Indian classical music landscape. Their musical journey began at a young age under the tutelage of their father, Sri Sivakumar, a well-respected musician in his own right. They were further mentored by the legendary Carnatic vocalist Sri D.K. Jayaraman, honing their skills and deepening their understanding of the nuances of Carnatic music.

The Mambalam Sisters have gained a reputation for their impeccable vocal harmony, clarity of diction, and disciplined adherence to the tradition. Their impressive discography includes a variety of devotional albums such as "Devi Sthothramala," "Shivananda Lahari," and "Soundarya Lahari," which are collections of hymns and stotras dedicated to Hindu deities that showcase their mastery over spiritual compositions. Albums like "Thirupavai," which delve into the verses of the Alvar saints, reflect their commitment to preserving and promoting the rich textual traditions of South India. Their devotion and contribution to sacred music have earned them accolades from music aficionados and continue to endear them to listeners who find solace and spirituality in their soul-stirring performances.
