List of Indian violinists

It was Vadivelu Pillai who introduced the use of Violin in Carnatic music. A scholar in Tamil and Telugu, Bharatanatyam exponent,vocalist, violinist and composer, Vadivelu Pillai delighted the ruler of Travancore, who presented to him an ivory violin in 1834 and even built him a house. There are two styles of violin playing in India: the Carnatic and the Hindustani.[1] Carnatic violinists such as Malaikkottai Govindaswamy Pillai, Tirukkodikaval Krishna Iyer and Thiruvalangadu Sundaresa Iyer and Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu performed concerts as early as the 1900. Indian violinists today such as Manoj George, L. Shankar, Balabhaskar have successfully adapted the Western music style of playing the violin and have been performing concerts outside of India. Violinists such as N. Rajam and Sangeeta Shankar are highly accomplished international performers in the Hindustani style. Violinists such as T.N. Krishnan, T.H.Subramaniam, A. Kanyakumari, H.K. Venkatram and Mysore brothers have remained Carnatic classical violinists and have yet been able to reach out to audiences outside of India. Also, artists such as Jyotsna Srikanth, L. Subramaniam, Ambi Subramaniam, Roopa Revathi, Madhav Gopi Nair and Sandeep Thakur have satisfactorily managed to perform both Carnatic and Western music on the violin. The following is a list of famous Indian violinists.
