82 year old Parasala Ponnamal becomes the first woman ever to perform at the Navarathri Mandapam at Trivandrum in September 2006. She opens her concert with Maharaja Swathi Thirunal's Pada Varnam, Daani Saamajendra in Thodi.
This woman has a strong voice...such a beautiful voice! Wah! Wah! Its a pity that you only have this one recording of her voice...its so precise and the kala pramanam is just enough for the raagam to take birth.
Pure music. Amazing performance. Kudos to Prince. God bless all. Dr.DwaramTyagaraj.

I discovered her today thanks to Kalasagaram and a friend of mine, Mrs Arunagiri. She is filling best the void created by DK Pattammal
