Aruna's innovative RTP
Reported by Rajeswari Srinivasan, Chennai
In the 'Houseful' concert of Aruna Sairam held in Narada Gana Sabha on Dec.20, Aruna as usual was in good form, pleasing the 'rasikas'!
But this rasika felt that what stood out was the pleasing 'innovation' she did in her RTP.
Instead of the customary 'swaras' in different ragas, she sang the aptÊlines of popular kritis in praise of Lord Shiva, most of them from 'Nandan Charithram'.
The introductory lines of the Pallavi were 'Kanakkann Koti Vendum - Vinnura Gopuram'. This was a pleasing effort!
