the hall was jam packed and the organisers had to arrange for extra chairs for this 4 pm concert. their concert planning was nice.I think since they chose the pallavi in varamu,they elaborated Varali being a Ghana ragam for sub main.the neraval and swaras at aravinda patra nayanam were very nice. then they proceeded to soundararajam a beautiful song in a very slow tempo and it was very soothing and they continued with telisi rama in a lightning speed which gave the required variety in the concert.
After a long time I heard a RTP in Varamu which was very pleasing to the ears and the ragamalika swaras were in hamsadhwani,ganamoorthi,shanmukhapriya,lalita,sivaranjani and hamsanandhi.

Overall it was a very nice concert with perfect time management.
