the house is a musical shrine of three generation of lady musicians of nainas ancestors I have been visiting the house since 1980 and paying respect to naina Since my two daughters studied music from guppusamy mudaliar who spent long time in nainas house in younger days i was able to gather lot of information of nainas family life association and musical achievements He used to demonstrate the style of his music It is immortal music indeed
As elaborated by kuppusamy mudaliar naina pillai is an epitome of classical tradition He presented carnatic music as pure art in its manifold form He emphasized different aspects of the art in his music in exacting standards The technique of krithi and pallavi reached the loftiest height at his hand He blazed a new trail in areas of pallavi technique and kalpana swaras Many crowded to listen to the musical bonanza of naina pillai with awe and wonder Words are inadequate tool to describe the impact he created with his incomparable music
An. . awe inspiring name in Karntaka Sangitam Unfortunately
his music is not available in recordings
