Ganesan, who lives in Chennai, plays the jal tarang or jalatharangam in concerts throughout Southern India, and is also a Carnatic vocalist and violinist. Ganesan took to jalatharangam on the demise of his accomplished brother Anayampatti Dhandapani.[1] He is among the very few contemporary artistes to play Carnatic music on jalatharangam[2] — his was the sole jalatharangam performance during Madras' 2005–2006 concert season. His jal tarang is "a set of 19 antique porcelain bowls"[3] and was gifted to Ganesan's father, Subbaiyer, in 1890 by Kundrakudi Krishna Iyer, an artiste who played jalatharangam in the court of the king of Ramnad.[2] Ganesan is a recipient of the Kalaimamani award.
