Dr. Pappu Venugopala Rao



    • Dr. Pappu is working on a book on Javalis. There is a general feeling that there is no authentic work on Javalis with transliteration and translation into English. A selection of 100 Javalis is taken for this purpose.  Sri.T.S. Parthasarathy, the nonagerian musicologist was greatly associated with this project. This book will  soon  be published.

    • Dr. Pappu’s lecture and lecture demonstrations on Kuchupudi dance have been acclaimed as the best in the field. Research is on way for a very authentic work on Kuchipudi dance.
    • A set of 4 CDs of Dr. Pappu’s lectures together with 33 songs of Annamacharya titled “Flowers at His Feet” was published in 2006. A second volume to this series with Dr. Pappu’s lectures and 30 compositions of Annamacharya is being produced.
    • Inspired by Flowers at His Feet, several connoisseurs have suggested that a similar book on Bhadrachala Ramadas with Dr. Pappu’s lectures and compositions of Bhadrachala Ramadas be brought out.

    • Pappu is presently working on a comprehensive book on Tygaraja covering his music, literature, poetics, prosody and other nuances.
