A.R. Rahman to receive Lakshminarayana International Award

Entertainment Dec 12, 2025

Music legend A.R. Rahman is set to be honored with the Lakshminarayana International Award on December 15, 2025, at Chennai's Rasika Ranjani Sabha.
The award kicks off the 35th Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival and celebrates Rahman's massive influence on music, both in India and worldwide.

Why does this matter?

Rahman isn't just the guy behind hits like Roja and Slumdog Millionaire—he's a two-time Oscar winner who keeps pushing musical boundaries.
Beyond composing, he supports young talent through projects like KM Music Conservatory and gives back through his foundation.
This award is a nod to his lifelong impact on music and culture—definitely worth knowing if you care about creativity or global pop culture.
