Solid stuff, super class neraval in shrI nAthAdi guruguhO, beautiful swaras - a lesson to the many children present in the audience. A grand Bhairavi, simple yet elegantly presented pallavi.

Top class, sensitive accompaniment!

I have heard usually musicians going with 1st 6 ragas , some times two sets of 6 ragas.But this combination is quite tricky. While 25 to 30 have significant dose of ragas which are well known , it is quite a challenge to take up 31 to 36 set where most of it is fairly unknown. Kudos to vidushi Sumitra :ymapplause:
