Folk artist S. Sakkan, 35, of Elavudai village, Dharmapuri, recalls how crushing poverty forced a few nagaswaram artistes to beg during the lockdown. Now there is a glimmer of hope with the poll under way. They are getting calls to perform.
He runs a troupe of nearly 20 artistes, who can thrill their audience with performance in nagaswaram, thavil, parai, oyilattam, karakam and poikkaal kuthirai aattam.
