Ghatam is one of the ancient percussion instruments in carnatic music. It is a specially made mud pot with a narrow mouth and a belly. Ghatam is generally played by male artistes because of its heaviness in nature and difficulties in producing the sound effects.

Sukkanya Ramgopal is not only the popular lady ghatam artiste but also one of the senior most artistes of the country.

Sukkanya by her “GHATA THARANG” concept has brought Ghatam, which has been an accompanying instrument in carnatic music concerts, to the main platform. Sukkanya’s all women instrumental group “STHREE THAAL THARANG” has staged the program “LAYA RAAGA SANGAMAM” in many places which is now a popular program all over India.

A warm welcome to you for a pleasant journey through the web site of Sukkanya Ramgopal to learn more about the art and the artiste.
