Panchamukhi and Shanmukhi :
****************************************************
One of the most complicated avadhanams. While normally Sangeetavadhanas are performed by conducting talas using both the hands, Panchamukhi demands rhythmic synchronisation of physical movements involving different parts of the body,Namely hands, thighs, head, neck .Panchamukhi has 5 angas and to be performed at once in single cycle –Avarthanam. A 6th anga can be incorporated, thus it becomes “Shanmukhi”. Dr. Shreekantham Nagendra Shastry and troupe will present “Dashavidha Raga Kusuma Manjari” in Panchamukhi and Shanmukhi tAlas in Avadhana- as a part 49th Music conference organised by Gayana Samaja , Bangalore.


What is Dashavidha Raga Navati Kusuma Manjari ?
============================================

A Musical Essay composed by “ Shrimad Ajjada Adi Bhatla Narayana dasugaru, A musical work of such a vast range and inherent depth in terms of content and scope, is indeed very rare in our literature and tradition. Structure of Manjari can be briefly outlined as follows. It has a total of 10 Navatis in 10 types of Raga- classes (Jaathis). Each Navati comprises of 9 ragas making it to a total of 90 Ragas in entire.Dasugaru’s musical genius and lyrical prowess is in full force and could be experienced, if one goes deeper into his usage of ragas, lyrics. This Essay was performed in Panchamukhi by Shree Dasugaru, in 1934. Dr. Shreekantham Nagendra Shastry and troupe, have revived it again and have given performances in Guntur and Thirupati successfully.

Dear Saiganesh,
My interactions with Dr SNS were very revealing. He is a domain expert in so many areas - this is one of them.

25th is a workday for me. Hope someone kindly records the lecdem and puts it up. Thanks for the write-up. A worthy student of a worthy master!
