Mayatheetha Swaroopini / Mayamalavagowla / Rupakam / Ponnaiah Pillai / Prince Rama Varma

Krithi: Mayatheetha Swaroopini Ragam: Mayamalavagowla Thalam: Rupakam Composer: Ponnaiah Pillai Vocal: Prince Rama Varma Aswathi Thirunal Rama Varma, popularly known as Prince Rama Varma born on 13 August 1968 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is a distinguished Carnatic vocalist, veena player, and music educator from the royal family of Travancore, tracing his lineage to the legendary Maharaja Swathi Thirunal. Growing up amidst the rich musical traditions of the Navarathri Mandapam, he was inspired early on by master musicians and archival recordings. He began formal vocal training in 1982 under Prof. Vechoor Harihara Subramania Iyer, a disciple of Dr. Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, continuing until Iyer’s passing in 1994. Alongside vocals, he trained in the Saraswati Veena under R. Venkataraman and later under Sangeetha Kalanidhi Prof. K. S. Narayanaswamy, before refining his skills under the mentorship of Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna. Making his public debut in 1990, with his first CD launched at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, Rama Varma has since performed across the world, including the USA, UK, France, Germany, the UAE, Kuwait, the Netherlands, and Singapore. His concerts are renowned for blending music with lucid explanations of lyric meanings, historical context, and personal anecdotes, making classical music engaging and approachable. Beyond performance, he is a prominent cultural curator, organizing the Navarathri Mandapam concerts in Thiruvananthapuram and founding the Swathi Sangeethotsavam festival at Kuthira Malika, where he broke centuries-old tradition by inviting women performers. A postgraduate in Commerce and fluent in multiple languages including Malayalam, English, Hindi, Tamil, and French, Rama Varma is celebrated not just for his artistry but for his philosophy of making classical music accessible, joyful, and inclusive, preferring purpose and creativity over titles and royal privilege.
