Apart from her unparalleled achievements in film music, S. Janaki was equally celebrated for her soulful renditions of patriotic (Desh Bhakti) songs and Lalita Sangeetham. Her voice carried not just melody but deep emotion, making these compositions timeless.

Among her most cherished patriotic songs is "Jaya Jaya Jaya Priya Bharata", penned by the legendary Telugu poet Devulapalli Krishna Sastry. The song became an enduring expression of love for the motherland and continues to evoke patriotic fervour across generations.

There is a popular belief that Jaya Jaya Jaya Priya Bharata was, at one stage, considered among the songs for India's national anthem. However, after careful deliberation, Rabindranath Tagore's "Jana Gana Mana" was ultimately adopted as the National Anthem of India.

S. Janaki's rendition of Jaya Jaya Jaya Priya Bharata remains one of the finest examples of how a singer can transform poetry into a deeply moving national sentiment. It is a testament not only to the brilliance of Devulapalli Krishna Sastry's words but also to Janaki's extraordinary ability to give every lyric a living soul.

My.all time favourite song because my mom loves this and she always plays this during long drives.... Top playlist.....

Will miss the legendary singer.... 😞

Someone sent a Whatsapp message and said Appara is no more. I did not realise they were talking about singer Janaki.

She was a great singer and like you said she sang songs suited to almost all ages and different genders too.

There are so many which are iconic and memorable.

Rest in Peace Janaki Ji.
