Life and musical journey of the renowned Mrudangam player Palakkad T S Mani Iyer, written by Krishnamurthy. Mani Iyer was a legend even in his lifetime, one of the all-time greats, a genius at innovation. His scintillating performances were an unforgettable treat to the audience. 'Palakkad' on a poster or just a 'Mani' was sufficient to attract the crowds in droves. He was the first mridangist to win the Sangeetha Kalanidhi and Padmabhushan awards. Sogasuga Mrudangathalamu has many photographs too.
