The 49th Gokulashtami Celebrations 2026 continue with a Carnatic vocal concert by T. M. Krishna on 29 August 2026 at Odukkathur Mutt, Bengaluru. Organised by Unnati, the programme features one of the most influential voices in contemporary Carnatic music. Known for his distinctive musical interpretations, expansive raga development, and thoughtful concert presentations, T. M.
