National anthem in Kannada

As the cultural city garnered into action to celebrate 75th Independence Day celebration with pomp and gaiety , an organisation planned to celebrate it in unique way by singing national anthem in mother tongue Kannada.

Mysuru is known for its cultural richness irrespective of music, art, dance and heritage.

Datta who made it possible without distorting the original version.

Jana Gana Mana poem in Kannada will be released in a befitting manner with a concert of patriotic songs by renowned singers of Mysuru led by K P Revathi Sharma, Nithin Rajaram Shastry, Vijay Kumar S and GeetalakshmiKeni.
