The workshop must have been wonderful for the participating young vidushees. I could see Sowmya madam and many other young vidushees. That speaks of the greatness of the workshop. I heard the concert of exclusive Mysore Maharaja kritis thanks to the webcast. It was excellent- Except one song, all songs new for me. Vagadheeswari, Lalitha, Hindolam, Lathangi etc. TSSathyavathi madam should be invited more often for workshops and also for concerts.

I watched the first two days lessons.Very interesting factoids:
1. Maharaja's 94 compositions were all created within just 4 months.
2. NO Raga repeated.
3. 26 compositions are the only compositions so far in those ragas.

I liked the song Bhuri Bhagya Lahari in Pratapa Varali.
