Shree Annapoorna

Annapurna is derived from Sanskrit meaning the giver of food and nourishment. Anna (अन्न) means "food" or "grains" and pūrṇa (पूर्ण) means "full, complete and perfect."

It is believed that Mount Annapurna in the Himalayas is named after her as the goddess is believed to be one of the daughters of Himavat, the king of the mountains. The Western world names her the "Hindu God of Cooking," considering her association with food items.

This rendering has been by Smt. K. M. Kusuma, a well renowned Carnatic Classical singer with over 35 years of experience in the field of Carnatic Classical music, the very popular Kannada Dasa vani, Hindi and Kannada Film songs and Sugam Sangeet (including Hindi Ghazals). Through a career of more than 2 decades she has the ability to recreate an eclectic mix of meluflous songs with sheer devotion and dedication to her profession.

Known for her versatility, the smiling and ever-obliging Smt. K M Kusuma renders Bhajans and Sugam Sangeet with equal elegance and finesse. Her mellifluous & powerful voice has an incredible range and leaves audiences spellbound in admiration with her renditions.
