'''Narayana Iyengar''' (25 January 1903 – 11 January 1959) was a master [[Music of India|Indian]] [[Carnatic music|Carnatic]] musician of the South Indian instrument, the [[chitravina]] (also known as the gotuvadyam). He contributed heavily to the development of the instrument.<br />
<br />
On 2 October 1939, the ''Malaya Tribune'' wrote:<br />
: "The highest flights of ecstasy to which Carnatic music can raise were revealed by the performance on the famous gotuvadyam by Professor Narayana Iyengar at the Town Hall of [[Kuala Lumpur]]. The extent of the profound effects he has produced on the audience numbering nearly a thousand can be gauged from the fact that he was able to hold them spell-bound for over 3 hours, whereas it would be considered a remarkable achievement if a million dollar film could do the same for just over an hour."<br />
