Music maestro was present at the 2019 Grammy Awards ceremony with his daughter Raheema.

The composer, who won two Grammy awards in 2009 for his work on "Slumdog Millionaire", posted several pictures from the awards night, which saw Kacey Musgraves, Childish Gambino, Cardi B, and Qunicy Jones create history in various categories.

A Grammy Award or Grammy is an award presented by The Recording Academy to recognize achievements in the music industry.

 The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists and the presentation of those awards that have a more popular interest. It shares recognition of the music industry as that of the other performance awards such as the Academy Awards (film), the Emmy Awards (television), and the Tony Awards (theater).

The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, to honor and respect the musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958. Following the 2011 ceremony, the Academy overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012.

The 61st Annual Grammy Awards, honoring the best achievements from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018, were held on February 10, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Rahman opted for a black and grey suit for the ceremony, while Raheema chose an all-black ensemble.

The Oscar-winning music director was attending Grammys with London-based Prashant Mistry, New York-based Falguni Shah, and US-based Satnam Kaur, who were nominated in different categories for their albums 'Symbol', 'Falu's Bazaar' and 'Beloved' respectively.

None of them could register a win at the biggest music awards night of the year.

Rahman also shared pictures of Dolly Parton's tribute performance at the ceremony as well as a video of Lady Gaga's energetic act on "Shallow".

The award ceremony took place at the Staples Centre here.
