Oh!! This is sad news.
Had the good fortune of listening to him live many times.
He used to be a regular at Mysore Dasara Music events and Bangalore Gayana Samaja events too.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts... Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

I have attended at least 12 of his annual events (Pandit Motiram Pandit Maniram Sangeet Samaroh) in Hyderabad.
Never thought this would be the last one.
