I reached late and entered for the pantuvarALi kriti. The neraval at 'rAmaciluka nokada penci prEma mATalADanEpi' was good and the swarams were nice also. The nArAyaNagauLa kriti was rendered with bhavam. The darbAr AlApanai was easily the best of the concert. He made his mark with the AlApanai. The kriti was rendered beautifully with very nice svarams which was aptly followed by a good rendition of the husEni kriti.

The main tODi AlApanai was normal and the kriti was rendered with neraval and svarams at the caraNam line. The rAgamAlikA pieces which followed were nice. The artist did a good job with the concert. The violinst stood up to the main artist at all occasions. The mridangist was very supportive and good in is tani as well.
