Dr Vedavalli and disciples presented an IMPECCABLE program. The vidushi made highly appropriate, succinct introductions to each of the Utsava sampradaya krithis selected. The visuals of Rama pattabhisheka icons on the stage and the temple abhisheka images were extremely beautiful. The singers were seated In a beautiful arc on the left and they all sang with a very high level of musical sensitivity and devotion. Even the voices selected for individual lines were very well done. Each singer modulated her voice the right way. The right side arc had Sri RK Shriram Kumar on the violin, Sri Ashwin Anand on the Veena, Sri Arun Prakash on the mridangam and Sri Guruprasad on ghatam. The percussion support was subdued as befit the occasion. The violin and particularly Veena musical introductions to each song were melodious.
The sound settings for all the vocals and instruments were done beautifully. The camera work was exquisite.
I can say this is perhaps the FINEST television program I have seen on DD. Full marks to Podhigai.
I had an unforgettable Ramanavami thanks to the Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr R Vedavalli.
