She also declined the Padma Bhushan award because she felt the honor came too late, after more than 55 years of her contribution to music.
She believed that the love and appreciation of her listeners were her greatest award. She also expressed her disappointment that many South Indian artists receive national recognition much later than they deserve.....
"Honor artists while they are still alive. Recognition should not come too late."
A voice that time can never replace. A legacy that generations will cherish forever.
Rest in Peace, Janaki Amma.
