Garikipati Narasimha Rao

Garikipati Narasimha Rao is an Indian Telugu Avadhani (literary performer) from Andhra Pradesh, India. Avadhanis are respected for their abilities to spin out verses conforming to Telugu grammar on literally any subject that audience may throw at them, as a challenge. In 1996 he performed Avadhanam with 1116 Pruchchakas or Pricchakas for 21 days in Kakinada. He also delivers lectures on personality development based on Dharmic culture and way of life. He regularly appears on Telugu TV channels like SVBC, Bhakti TV, and ABN Andhra Jyothi giving discourses on Ancient Hindu texts like Bhagavadgita Balavikaasam, Ramayana, and Mahabharata. In 2022, he was awarded India's fourth-highest civilian award Padma Shri by the government of India.

The first half of the twentieth century was truly a golden age for Telugu literature, after a similar such phase during Sri Krishnadevaraya’s reign. The period between 1950 and 1980 saw great literary output across various genres too, but the early twentieth century saw the revival of ‘avadhanam’ – a great literary form in Telugu.
Kopparapu Sodara Kavulu – ‘the poet-brothers of Kopparam’ – were two of the foremost exponents of this form. Their talent and achievements have been described as manavatita or beyond human capacity, in the era of many janta-kavulu (pairs of poets). The prominent pairs at the time were the great Tirupati-Venkata Kavulu, Venkata-Ramakrishna Kavulu, Venkata-Parvateeswara Kavulu and Pingali-Katuri Kavulu.
