It was indeed a great day for me, as father of Sathya as it was a great oppurtunity to have Sathya showcase his provess on the instrument amidst a learned carnatic traditional audience on this auspicious day on the 14th Mar at 215am - 310 am. It was part of teh agandam concert celebrations organised by Layapriya Sri Papanasam Kumar and had featured many leading artists to participate in this 12 hour concert series.
This concert was enhanced by Akarai Sowrnalatha on Violin, Calcutta Karthick on teh Mrudhangam and Sivaramakrishnan on Ghatam. The team performed SivaSiva enaradha in Panthuvarali with kalpanaswram followed by Sabapathikku in Aboghi, Lalthangi raaga aalapana, short thanam and kalpanaswaram for the krithi Pirava varam tharum. He concluded the concert with Mahadeva Shiva Sambo.
It was indeed a great gift for me, father of Sathya as this concert helped me identify a friend with whom we lost contact for 25 years and he was sitting in the audience during the concert. What a pleasant surprise and it was indeed a great varam from Lord Shiva. also when we were going on a pradhakshanm in car outside the temple Mr Giriraj, a shop owner near the Temple Tank, recgnised us and gave a gift of a Lingam and Nadheeswarar at around 330am. What a gift on an auspicious day of Shivarathri!
