Very few artists in the field of carnatic percussion have contributed as much as veteran morsing vidwan Dr.L. Bhimachar. Nadasurabhi took pride in awarding the Sangeetha Surabhi title to Dr.L.Bhimachar. In a glittering ceremony on the morning of 3rd November 2019, Dr.Bhimachar accepted the award. The award consists of a citation and a purse. Smt. Harini Raghavan read the citation in chaste kannada tracing the life and achievements of Dr.Bhimachar. Dr.V.Krishna who is himself a leading mridangam vidwan, explained the technical nuances of the instrument, now internationally known as the Carnatic Morsing and the contribution of Dr.Bhimachar in raising the status of the instrument on the concert stage by his unique way of playing it. Dr.Bhimachar thanked Nadasurabhi for the honour.
Dr.Bhimachar (89 years) after the felicitation, accompanied Sri. T.V.Sankaranarayanan's vocal concert, on his morsing and enthralled the stunned audience by his virtuosity.
