I like the website. The webpage has a very good look and feel about it. However, I feel that in the "Raga" pages, when you write about a Bilahari or Bindumalini for example, a minute's sound byte on the ragam and a popular song will be very educative. Since you have these pages, I would imagine that you are focused also on beginners.

Now for some straight talk, the two personalities written about is the usual stuff. It will be useful if you talk to the persons featured and give their views on their own music. That will bring out their approach to the selection of songs and the like.

A very good and informative site. It was nice to read articles on the all-time greats like Lalgudi, Mali etc.

Carnatic Darbar is a pleasant and welcome change. I find the Web site to be extremely user-friendly to a classical music-challenged bloke like me. I have added Carnatic Darbar to the list of Favorites on my computer.
I hope you will keep the Web site as user-friendly and easy-to-understand as it is now.

Recently, I happened to visit the website www.carnaticdarbar.com.

I would like to express my appreciation for this project and look forward to regular visits in the future. I was happy to see an article on my father Shri M.D. Ramanathan in the legends’ section. The purpose of this mail is also to bring to your attention an error in the article written about my father. My grandfather's name is Shri. Devesa Bhagavathar and not Desiga Bhagavathar as mentioned. Please make the necessary correction at the earliest. Also, if possible please make a reference to the source of this article.

It is really wonderful to start with a lot of `olds’ and `news’. It is nice to see flute Mali with Raghu, Ravi and Sundaram and also some good stories.

Interesting, well-written articles. Hope to see more content added soon!

Kalpana - Chennai, India
Congratulations on hosting a very good site of this genre - your articles are all very interesting and well written. I have noticed especially that your news page is updated everyday, which is unfortunately not the case in most carnatic music websites. Keep up the great work and my best wishes to you and your team for making yours the best carnatic music website.

Tushad Talati - Bangalore, India
I think its really well done and the striking thing is it shows me the deep passion you and the others have for this music form. Very commendable.I love the simple style and design of the site incidentally.

Some thoughts you could consider.
- Allow more interactivity. You could have a forum or thread so people can leave comments and opinions on articles, reviews, performances etc.
- Why don’t you allow a space for advertisers? Music shops in Chennai, shops selling instruments etc.
- Need a listing or upcoming schedule of concerts, album releases, related events etc.
- A section on interesting happenings from around the country (not just Chennai)

These are just my small suggestions. Great idea. All the best.

Congratulations on this initiative. Those responsible for the design of the site need to be commended. They have done a very good job. Good fonts, too. A very pleasing home page, good use of colours and pictures. I read the interviews, tit-bits etc. Good start. Enjoyed it. Look forward to more.

Ghatam Suresh - Chennai, India
Very colourful and bright site at the first sight. Quite thoughtful to have a "ghatam" icon to catch and store guests' comments! May this site grow in a huge way, giving invaluable insight to our divine music and bridge the rasikas and musicians in the best constructive way. All the very best to the dedicated team.

Radhika Raghuraman - Plainsboro, USA
Delighted to see your work!! Very fresh and clean site...good use of colour! Enjoyed reading it.... Looking forward to seeing current things to read.

Sujatha Prakash - Princeton, USA
Great site! Not being hugely involved in music but still a music lover, I felt awed like a poor man in a five-star jewelery store.

Ramani Sharma - Mumbai, India
It is a great one. I was very happy to see so many articles of Bombay Jayashri and also news about my guru Smt. T.R. Balamani.
