New Delhi, April 26 (IANS) A limited edition of engraved gold coins has been launched as a tribute to legendary Carnatic musician M.S. Subbulakshmi. A part of the proceeds from the coins will be donated towards cancer and diabetes research.
The special gold coins, launched by jewellery brand Tanishq, are available in two, four and eight grams, and come engraved with an image of the Bharat Ratna recipient.
"M.S. Subbulakshmi epitomises the rich cultural heritage of our country. Carnatic classical music forms an integral part of our tradition. This initiative is a tribute to this art form," C.K. Venkataraman, COO, Tanishq, said in a statement.
