Visveshwar is a professional flautist based out of the capital city of Tamil Nadu, Chennai. It was in 2006 when Visveshwar was just nine years old when he was presented with an unexpected opportunity. Visveshwar’s first public performance took place at the lotus feet of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha in Oonjal Seva.  Yes, it was an auspicious beginning for Visveshwar and his team.  Not many children are blessed to get such an auspicious beginning at such a tender age. He was accompanied by his elder brother, Ram, on violin, and Ram’s classmate, Santosh Kumar, on the mridangam. The team performed together till June 2007 when Ram and Santosh preferred to focus on studies.
