First of all my apologies for this rather late report of a concert held earlier this month (Oct 10th) at Raga Sudha under the auspices of SAFE (Shanthi Arts Foundation).
It was a nice concert but what really made it truly exceptional was the Amirta Behag kriti Kamala Charaney was presented as the sub-main item in the concert. The alapana was elaborate and presented the contours of the raga brilliantly. I have never heard an alapana of this raga on stage and it was just out of the world.
Sriranjani exuded poise and confidence on stage. Kudos to her for attempting this rather rare raga alapana and pulling it off with aplomb.

If I am not mistaken, Amrita Behag is GN Sir's creation!

Re: Sriranjani Santhanagopalan sings Amirta Behag
GNB's composition. Very nice song but it sounds more like Amritha (varshini) than Behag. It has vibes of hamsanandi too. But no Behag. Wonder why he named it AmrithaBehag ??
Exploring this raga am sure many in audience would have thought that it's Amruthavarshini for a long time.
