One of the beautiful villages in Palakkad District. Chembai Gramam (Village) is situated near Kottayi. As every one knows, Chembai is the birth place of the doyen of carnatic music, the late Sri Chembai Vaidhyanatha Bhagawathar. In my view and opinion Kottayi is an ideal place to settle down as it has many facilities, schools, clinics, doctors, police station, electricity office, telephone exchange, and above all very large - hearted people.
Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar (Malayalam: ചെമ്പൈ വൈദ്യനാഥ ഭാഗവതര്, Tamil: செம்பை வைத்தியநாத பாகவதர்) was a Carnatic music singer from the Indian state of Kerala. Known by his village name Chembai, or simply as Bhagavatar, he was born to Anantha Bhagavatar and Parvati Ammal in 1895.[1] Chembai was noted for his powerful voice and majestic style of singing. His first public performance was in 1904, when he was nine. He was a recipient of several titles and honours. He was known for his encouragement of upcoming musicians, and also for his ability to spot new talent. He was responsible for popularizing compositions like Rakshamam, Pavana Guru, among others. The music critic 'Aeolus' describes him as "the musician who has meant the most to Carnatic Music in the first fifty years of the 20th century" Some of his prominent disciples include Yesudas, T. V. Gopalakrishnan, V.V.Subramaniam, P.Leela, among others. Many memorial music festivals are held in his honour annually since his death in 1974, the most important being the annually celebrated Chembai Sangeetholsavam.
