Njeralath Harigovindan

Njeralath Harigovindan inherited the temple art form of Sopana Sangeet from his father, Njeralath Raama Pothuval, who popularized this genre of music. Harigovindan not only sings and plays the idayyka and chenggila, he has also authored books on the music of Kerala, worked for various television channels, and won several awards in his state. He is one of the few young artistes of this traditional style, and has added to Sopana Sangeet by composing his own songs as well.
