It was sheer bliss-3 hours of a cascade of divine melody. The raga alapanas of begada, alagabhairavi, dharmavathi & thodi were scholarly ,with unusual touches and truly memorable. The swaraprastharas in Dharmavathi & the ragamalika tanam seemed like a torrent of soulful outpouring; literally carrying us away with the tide of delightful musical magic. The song Katrinile oru geetham touched a chord-it was hauntingly beautiful.It was a pity Carnatic music- loving Mumbaikars did not take advantage of Gayatri’s rare appearance in the sabha, after a gap of 20 yrs.-their loss entirely!
