    Solution

    R.K. Shriramkumar, an acclaimed violinist, received the 2025 Sangita Kalanidhi Award from The Music Academy, Madras, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to Carnatic music. He trained under V.V. Subrahmanyam and D.K. Jayaraman and is particularly noted for his scholarship in Muthuswami Dikshitar's compositions and expertise in Sangita Sampradaya Pradarsini, a significant musicological text. The timing of this award is especially meaningful as 2025 marks the 250th birth anniversary of Muthuswami Dikshitar. The Sangita Kalanidhi Award represents the highest honor in Carnatic music and is annually bestowed upon musicians, composers, and scholars who have made exceptional contributions to this classical music tradition.
