The vocalist Shashwathi Mandal Paul sang under the auspices of Sursagar. She elaborated the raga with stasis on the salient endearments of the melody.
The gestalt in the attractive phraseology was complete, accounting for depth. Comparatively Marwa was brief but edifying.
While the Tappa was powerful the Meghmalhar stood out for its graceful cadences.
Bhairavi was also pleasing Shashwathi Mandal with her melodious voice captivated the audience. Vyasa Murthy Katti and Gurumurthy Vaidya gave good support on Harmonium and Tabala.
