Singer S.P. Balasubramaniam has been selected for this year’s Harivarasanam Award instituted by the Kerala government. Minister for Health and Devaswoms V.S. Sivakumar said in a statement here on Thursday that Mr. Balasubramaniam was selected for the award considering his invaluable contribution to propagate the spirit of secularism, equanimity, and universal brotherhood of Sabarimala through the songs he rendered in different languages in the past five decades. He was selected by a jury headed by Sabarimala high-power committee chairman K. Jayakumar.
