Venue : Ravindra Bharati.
Date : 17th April, 2015.
Time : 6.45 PM to 9.15 PM ( 2 hours 30 mins)

Song List :

1. Varnam - Nalinakanti - LGJ
2. Deva Deva Jagadeeswara - Poorvikalyani (O) - ST
3. Marugelara - Jayantasree (S at Marugelara) - T
4. Vandanamu - Sahana (R) - T

6. Entani Vinnavintura - Urmika with chittaswarams - Pallavi Sesha Iyer
7. Chakkani - Kharaharapriya (R, N and S at Kantiki) - T

She asked if we want RTP or post main piece songs. The crowd asked for an RTP.

8. RTP - Mohana Kalyani - Vara Venkata Ramana Vaarana Bhaya Harana Varada - Ragamalika Swarams.

Being a laya soonya, I cannot tell the tala to which the pallavi was set. I could not place the ragamalika swarams correctly. Two of them might be Behag and Sindhu Bhairavi. After the third raga, she transitioned to Mohana Kalyani swarams and concluded the RTP.

9. Ugabhoga followed by Ondu Bari Smara - Vadiraraju
10. Thillana - Ragesri - LGJ
11. Ni Nama Rupamulaku - Sowrastram - T

Observations:
1. Sahana Alapana was short.
2. Neraval was only for Kharaharapriya.
3. Swarams for Jayantasri, Dhanyasi were sparkling and lively.
4. The RTP was for about 20 mins and the pallavi was only for 2 minutes.
