Profile: Vid.Pattabhirama Pandit hails from a family of musicians. His mother initiated him into the field of music at the age of three. After formal training from Vallabham Kalyana Sundaram for 6 years, he also learnt from Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr. S. Ramanathan. He later learnt under the able guidance of the Great maestro, Sangeetha Kalanidhi, Padma Shri, Palghat  K.V.Narayanaswamy for nearly 13 years. He is now trained under Padma Narayanaswamy.

An “A” graded artiste of AIR Trichy, Pattabhirama Pandit’s singing style has characteristics of his Guru Narayanaswamy. However, despite the similarities, Pandit’s music is quite distinctive and individualistic.

Pattabhirama Pandit has a powerful and energetic voice. In addition, he has a lively, open-throated style of singing. This, together with his infectious stage presence, makes watching him live on stage one of the pleasures of his performance.  

He is the recipient of many awards like Ustad Bismillah Khan Memorial Award, Karnataka Kalashree, Outstanding Achievements Award from Vasundhara Performing Arts, Nadajyothi Puraskar Award, Yuva Purandhara award, Nada Chintamani to mention a few.
