Dance Master Raghuram Passes Away
Renowned choreographer R. Raghuram passed away at his residence here Saturday

Master of dance forms such as Kathakali and Bharatanatyam, Raghuram started learning dance from the age of five from gurus such as Gopinath, Vazhavur Ramaiah Pillai and Bolanath.

Over a career lasting five decades, he had choreographed over 1,000 songs in several languages such as Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.

Some of the best songs he had choreographed are from films such as "Salangai Oli" and "Punnagai Mannan".

In 2012, the Tamil film industry came together to pay tribute to Raghuram for completing 50 years in the industry.

He made his cinematic debut in a popular role in Kamal Haasan's "Dasavatharam".
