The series aims to popularize Carnatic music in general and Veena in particular and each episode handles a specific subject with duration of about 5 minutes or less. Why the name Cup O' Carnatic? There were a couple of reasons for this. Carnatic Music is a vast ocean and the episodes aim to only give a small glimpse of this world - in a Cup. And the hope is that you'll be able to watch an episode in the time it takes for you to finish a Cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
