Hyderabad: The Telangana government has chosen to honor SP Balasubrahmanyam with a statue at Ravindra Bharati. The complex, already home to Ghantasala’s statue, will now showcase two of the most influential figures in Telugu music.
SP Balasubrahmanyam statue reflects cultural policy of celebrating musical legends
The Department of Culture has been directed to carry out the project. This move not only recognizes Balasubrahmanyam’s contributions but also underlines the state’s approach of safeguarding cultural memory through visible tributes.
SPB’s passing in 2020 was felt across the nation. His songs remain fixtures in films and concerts. By placing his statue alongside Ghantasala’s, Telangana draws a symbolic line between two eras, ensuring their legacies inspire future generations of musicians and listeners.
