About
Born on December 16, 1933, Adyar K Lakshman hails from Kuppam in Chittur District of Andhra Pradesh, where his father Krishnaraja Rao was posted as a school teacher. Lakshman and his brother Rama Rao were discovered by PD Doraiswamy Iyer, a representative of Rukmini Devi Arundale, the founder of Kalakshetra. The young boys showed unusual musical and rhythmic talent, and were offered a thorough education in the Fine Arts. Lakshman's father was only too happy to accept the offer made by Kalakshetra. Lakshman began his education at Kalakshetra in 1944 when he was 11 years old. He had the good fortune to receive his early training and exposure to the classical arts from Rukmini Devi herself.
