Sourashtrans are traditionally very artistic,patient and hardworking people. Because of these qualities many artists have been evolved from the Sourashtran Community. This is given as a proof in the essay "Nizha Sangeetham" written by "Abinava Thiagaraja" Thiru C.R.Sriniva Iyengar. Classical music spread all over India. The auspicious Sourashtra Raga was sung during the beginning and end of all music ceremonies.Sourashtrans are very pious people and their ancestors mastered very well in Music field.
