I happened to watch a stage performance of a musical group who was 
introduced in the Kochi Seafood fair as "Chithra Iyer Group" ( 08'th 
Feb in Kochi Le Meridien ). 

The announcer said that Chithra is a playback singer. The notable fact 
of the show was 3 songs back to back of Rahman. First was "Chandralekha 
from Thiruda Thiruda", next one from ATM (forgot song name) and third 
was "Mayya Mayya from Guru".
 
The group consisted of 3 violinists / 2 guitarists / 1 tabla / 1 drums 
and 1 rhythm programming / 1 flute / 2 male vocalists and Chithra.

The lady had excellent voice and stage presence. Her voice was very 
close to the singer of "Chandralekha" song. I even enquired with the 
encyclopedia of Rahmanica ( Amith Chandhran ) who informed me that 
Chandralekha was sung by Anupama. 

Has she sung for Rahman ?
