Son and disciple of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr. Mysore V. Doreswamy Iyengar, he grew in a household where music was absorbed quietly, corrected in silence, and refined without haste.
He stands within the Mysore bΔαΉi as a natural bearer. Descending from the legacy of Veena Sheshanna, this tradition values clarity over display, repose over urgency, and balance over outward flourish.
In Balakrishna's hands, the veena speaks with quiet assurance. Notes are placed with care; phrases unfold without insistence. What is heard is steadiness, proportion, and an unforced sense of form.
