Welcome
Welcome to chandrakantha.com. This is THE place to come for those who enjoy Indian music. We have several thousand pages covering the subject. Relax, spend some time leisurely browsing the various topics.
Pardon our dust…
We have completed our transition to the new WordPress theme. In the process, we have greatly expanded and refined our caching. This latter will greatly improve the performance of our site, especially for people living outside of the US. We will now return to our normal mode of alternating between adding new content, polishing and editing existing content, and rewriting the few remaining HTML into WordPress.
There will still be situations where a page will be there one day, but produce a “404 ERROR -PAGE NOT FOUND” the next. This will primarily be in the Biographical portion of the site. But be assured, the information has not gone away, it is only at a different URL. If you use the various navigation tools, you will almost certainly find the new location. As you look around an area that I am working on, frequently hit the refresh button on your browser. This will avoid a lot of problems.
Thank You
DAVID’S WIKIPEDIA PAGE – I have just noticed that someone has started to add an Arabic and an Egyptian Arabic version of my Wikipedia page. I have no idea who you are, but I would like to extend my thanks to you. If anyone would like to add it in other languages, this too will be appreciated.
