Remembering the performances of Mahashivrathri!
The day when staying up is never hard as the night long recitals made sure about it. The feeling of performing in a temple has always been more complete and content than a recital in an arangam. The divinity and devotion takes over the responsibilities of a stage performance. It's the day we can completely drown ourselves in nothing but Shiva bhakthi.

Om Namah Shivaya!!🙏🙏

This is a snippet from my last performance in India for the 2019 Margazhi season under the auspices of the Vipanchee Trust. It is the Hindolam thillana composed by Shri Dhandayudhapani Pillai.

Attempting the karana challenge by akka.
Thank you for this akka. Feels very good to be doing it after a long time. Focusing on the adavus, we often miss out on the chari and karanas.
