Topic - Meenakshi Vaibavam
It was an ecstatic experience for us audience. The sheer energy of the maestro was just flowing like a stream. His immense knowledge on so many topics, his attention to details in general and in detailing the ragas based on the situation, his resonant voice, the admirable accompanists - it was all truly outstanding.
TNS said that this was the first time he did "katha" on this topic. He did digress quite a bit off topic into the "Rama/Krishna" zone, but nevertheless, it was a performance of the highest calibre. Given the small size of the city, one could say that it was well-attended. This was done in connection with the navaratri celebrations at the Devi temple in Rush, so this program fit perfectly well into the agenda and added color to the already festive atmosphere.
