Chingleput Sri Ranganathan gave a concert in memory of his guru, Alathur Subbayyar. He said the songs he presented were all favourites to Late SVK of Nada Inbam also, and hence he sang them all at the concert. All of them very classical and were presented in the most classical fashion.
The concert started with a leisurely rendition of the varNam, which i hadnt even heard off before. A real classical varNam that was portraying the rAga bhAvam in full. The gauLa kriti was rendered well with a quick round of svarams. Sri Ravi's replies were good. The bEgaDa kriti was rendered with all its caraNams and the ciTTai svaram and was beautiful.
The first AlApanai, sAvEri, was kept short and sweet. The kriti was rendered with a round of neraval and svarams at 'shyAmakrishNa sOdari shyAmaLE sAdOdari'. Sri Ravi also played a short AlApanai and played good for the neraval and svarams as well. The AlApanai of darbAr was moving and made on sit up. The grand kriti was rendered in a moving fashion. The accompanists did a very good job in accompanying this grand kriti
When Sri Ranganathan started the AlApanai of kAmbhOji, just after an hour into the concert, one did not expect to hear the main AlApanai that early. It was very elaborate and showed all the beauties of the rAgam. Sri Ravi played a nice AlApanai in return. The AlApanai had already set the mood for a big kriti. However, one did not expect something this grand to come and hit u. The 20 minute rendition of the kriti, that too after rendering the caraNam lines just once, was just majestic. I am short of words to write about the kAmbhOji and the kriti. The neraval and svarams which followed at 'karuNatO dhruvuni kEDuta nilcina' were fitting to the grandeur of the kriti. The accompanists were good in accompanying for this. The tani Sri Ananthakrishnan played was quite elaborate and nice. The whole kAmbhOji affair and the tani lasted for about an hour.
Right after the tani, all of us were hit by a surprise. An AlApanai of kuntaLa varALi for about 5+ minutes. The way Sri Ranganathan elaborated the rAgam, made me even expect a pallavi in kuntaLa varALi. Sri Ravi responded well. The viLamba kAla kriti in kuntaLAvarALi was rendered very nicely. The kriti alone took about 10 mintues. This was followed with some beautiful neraval and elaborate svarams at 'dAra sutulakai dhanamunakai'.
The rAgamAlikA slOkam was very nice. The sindhubhairavi kriti was well rendered as well.
The concert was one to cherish for a life time.

janya of tODi
Searched Google for more info on Indrajit!Nothing turned up.Any composition in that Ragam?And why a Janya of Thodi?
Sathej
I am told Sri Ranganathan found this rAgam. He has composed a tillAnA in this rAgam. i think there is a composition of his in this rAgam as well. May be he has set to tune, some body else's sAhityam as well.
janya of tODi coz, tODi is the first rAgam in the mElakarta scheme to have the sAdhAraNa gAndhAram, kaisiki nishAdham combo.
