Overview
- A remembrance event in Mysuru brought together family, musicians and fans, where Hamsalekha publicly proposed the S. Janaki Dhyana Mantapa and an associated music study centre to preserve her legacy.
- Organisers have given a public cost estimate of ₹10 crore to ₹15 crore and set a target of completing the project within two years, though detailed designs and approvals have not yet been released.
- Initial seed contributions of ₹5 lakh each were pledged by the Musicians' Association and Raj Events, and organisers said further funds will be sought from fans, the music community and well-wishers.
- Hamsalekha described the site as a place for music to flourish and said the project aims to draw national and international visitors, but he also said the project requires substantial financial support before work can begin.
- S. Janaki’s long career and wide fan base underpin the effort, and the next steps to watch are the publication of a formal project plan, confirmed funding commitments and any site or government approvals needed to start construction.
