Event Description

Fourteen ragams, one composition.

Muthuswami Dikshitar’s Sri Vishwanatham Bhajeham is one of Carnatic music’s great architectural achievements. The transitions are seamless. Each ragam retains its distinct identity.

This concert builds upon Dikshitar’s ragamalika, introducing pieces by different composers across languages and compositional forms. The same ragam, heard through different hands — violin, veenai, mridangam, ghatam — reveals new layers with every listening.
