Thanam & pallavi & swaram sung in 3 ragas, guess the ragas
from pallavi line. All sung with rhythm support.

After this, she also sang a revathi song (on guru raghavendra),
then darisana deva (?), tillana. No idea of the ragas.
I might have missed the first one or two songs.
In short , aarpaatam illatha oru sugamaana sangeetham.A well time managed.
Great acoustics and I liked the swarajathi and dharmavathi items.
Violin return for dharmavathi was great. Many PD krithis.
I was hoping that she doesnot sing bhajana seya as it was recently
sung by R&G and we got this song which I never heard in a concert.

Not to miss Vijay Siva at this venue 19th March.

Ok. Any idea of the song for which I could not identify, the reavthy raga song and darisana deva...

Pardon my ignorance, but what do the numbers denote in these cases? The time period for which the ragam, swarams etc. lasted?

Another miss for me. I was at German Hall for her 31st Dec concert and it so happened that she couldn't make it that day.
