Charlotte Devaranama Group was founded by a small group of dedicated volunteers in the year 2004 with the intention of promoting Devaranama culture. Since then the group has grown in size and activities. Most important of the festivals hosted has been the annual Purandara Aradhana, hosted year after year in honor of Sangeetha Pitamaha Sri Purandara Dasaru and celebration of his contribution to Carnatic music and Devaranama Literature. The group thrives to keep the rich tradition alive in Charlotte and pass the fragrance to next generation.
