Vaishnavee Kicks off Navarathri Kutcheri

On day one of the three day Navarathri Kutcheri in the Park series organized by Sundaram Finance, 14 year old S Vaishnavee presented a lively one hour ‘Mikeless Kutcheri’ this Friday morning between 7am and 8am at the Nageswara Rao Park in Mylapore. This is the 10th Edition of the Navarathri Kutcheri in the Park.

Vaishnavee, who is learning from Guru T.R Vasudevan, was accompanied on the Violin by T. Kishore and on the Mirudangam by V.G. Vishwesh. With the early morning sun beating down on her face through the branches of the tall tree at the Nageswara Rao Park, Vaishnavee presented compositions that included Muthuswamy Dikshithar’s Gajananayutham (Chakravakam Ragam/Adi Thalam), Thyagarajar’s Adamodigalade (Charukesi/Adi), Shyamashastri’s Mayamma (Aahiri/ Adi) and Papanasam Sivan’s Kana vendamo (Sri Ranjani-Adi).
