Kacchapi Charitable Trust is a 501(c) non-profit organization formed to promote Indian Classical Music and Dance, Humanitarian, Educational and Literary and activities. Kacchapi is the name of the devine Veena played by Goddess Saraswathi. The name reflects the musical and educational goals of the trust.

This web site is our humble attempt to present,

– Classical Kriti lyrics in five languages i.e. Telugu, Sanskrit, Tamil, Kannada and English with transliteration and meaning in English. We sincerely hope that this helps musicians and music lovers, whose mother tongue is one of the above languages, while performing on the stage or listening to the concert.

– Collect, preserve and provide access to various music forms that are not easily accessible.

– Provide audio version of the songs for learning with emphasis on pronunciation.

– Other topics of interest in music and literature.

We humbly state that in spite of several references, readings and number of attempts to present the songs with 100% accuracy, it is possible that some errors/mistakes may be seen. We hope the music family would understand our effort to maintain accuracy. We appreciate feedback on the format and errors so that we can correct them, if appropriate.

Musically yours,
Kacchapi Charitable Trust
Saraswathi and Lakshmipati Chelluri
