The rich legacy of South Indian music has been shaped by legendary composers like M. Ranga Rao, Vijaya Bhaskar, G.K. Venkatesh, Rajan–Nagendra, Ilaiyaraaja, Hamsalekha, Sadhu Kokila, V. Manohar, Mano Murthy, V. Harikrishna, Arjun Janya, Devi Sri Prasad, Anirudh Ravichander, Thaman S, M. M. Keeravani, A. R. Rahman, B. Ajaneesh Loknath, and Ravi Basrur—each creating timeless tunes that live on in our hearts. Visionary lyricists such as Chi. Udayashankar, R.N. Jayagopal, G.P. Rajarathnam, Doddarangegowda, Yogaraj Bhat, and Jayant Kaikini gave voice to our deepest emotions, while contemporary writers like K. Kalyan, Nagendra Prasad, Chethan Kumar, Nagarjun Sharma, and Kaviraj continue to shape the evolving sound of music. Together, they have gifted us lullabies, folk rhythms, devotional hymns, and film songs that are not merely heard but lived—songs that echo across generations with cultural pride and timeless beauty.

With this spirit, Chittara Music Awards 2025 stands as a heartfelt tribute to this glorious tradition—honoring classical legends, folk maestros, Sugama Sangeetha pioneers, devotional voices, indie creators, and icons of Indian film music who have defined our soundscape. Presented by Chittara Media Group, a torchbearer of South Indian culture and cinema for over 17 years through prestigious events like the Chittara Star Awards and Chittara Icon Awards, this celebration promises unmatched grandeur, emotion, and excellence. More than an award ceremony, it is a salute to the melodies that have made us smile, cry, dream, dance—and above all, feel alive.
