Early life

The Bombay Sisters, C. Saroja and C. Lalitha, were born in Trichur, Kerala to Mukthambal and N. Chidambaram Iyer. The sisters were brought up in Bombay. Saroja and Lalitha had their education in the S.I.E.S Matunga, passed their intermediate privately from Bhopal, M.P. and completed their graduation from Delhi University. They had their musical training with H. A. S. Mani, Musiri Subramania Iyer and T. K. Govinda Rao.[2][3]

After they were groomed in Carnatic Music in Mumbai, the sisters moved to Chennai. But a swami addressed them as 'Bombay Sahodarigal' and blessed them, and the name stuck. Saroja's husband Rajaram was the chief secretary of Lalit Kala Akademi, and Lalitha's husband Chandran was an advocate. The sisters credited their husbands in helping them to continue to perform together after they got married. [4]

Concert performances

As part of the trend of duo singing in Carnatic music, which started in the 1950s, with performers like Radha Jayalakshmi, and Soolamangalam Sisters,[5] Bombay Sisters have been singing since 1963 when they started with light classical music, subsequently progressing to classical Carnatic music. They sing in multiple languages including Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi and Marathi.[6] They are also known for promoting young musicians through endowments and scholarships.[7]
