very good concert. i was here and the mini hall was packed. there was a political meeting outside near bvb which had some brash music playing but the artists did well to present great music in spite of that. but if my memory serves right, there was swarams for dhenuka and no swarams for darbar. darbar only had a 20 to 30 avarthanam long second speed neraval which was masterfully handled following which there was the thani which was very engaging as well. correct me if i am wrong

carnatricks,

You are correct - swarams for dhenuka and no swarams for darbar. I wrote from memory and I think indicated the same wrongly. The forum is not allowing me to edit the original post though

Fixed it. Let me know if it looks OK now.
