Ragavan and team presented a very nice, enjoyable concert.

Here are a list of items he presented - I may have forgotten a few items, and the order may not be right.

1. aiyyanai narasimhanai - varNa in bilahari - his own composition

The ettugade swaras were very catchy, and out of ordinary. The rAga mudre appeard in the charaNa as "ahO! bila harinArAyaNa!" ; The composition was on Narasimha of Ahobilam

2. natagaja simhA (?) - simhEndra madhyama - composition of Dr BMK

This is a nice composition which I had never heard before.

3. narasimha mAmamva - Arabhi - Swathi TirunAL

4. SrI nArasimha mAm pAhi - phalamanjari - Tyagaraja composition

Ragavan sang a nice AlApane for this somewhat rarely heard rAga.

5. simha rUpa dEvA - kAmbhOji (Main) An adaptation of Purandara dAsa's simharUpanAdE, by Dr BMK

(even though an adaptation, inspired seems the right word).

6. A verse from Tiruppavai, followed by Purandara dAsa's ranga bArO narasinga bArO in rAgamAlike

The shlOka was sung very nicely - The verse and the dEvaranAma was in mAnd, kalAvati, sindhu bhairavi and basant bahAr.

7. narasimha Agaccha - mOhana - MD

8. rangana nODire - nAdanAmakriya - Purandara dasa

9. A pAsuram(?) in manirangu

10. mangaLam
