Mahadeva Siva Sambho by Padmashri Awardee Sangita Kalanidhi Smt. Aruna Sairam

On the auspicious occasion of Karthigai Deepam today, I would like to share this song as my offering. ‘Mahadeva Siva Sambho’, is a beautiful composition by Sangita Kala Acharya Thanjavur Sankara Iyer, on Siva Peruman in the raga Revati.

This video is from the 2002 Jaya TV Margazhi Maha Utsavam concert organised by Subhasree Thanikachalam. For this event, I was accompanied by Embar Kannan on violin, J Vaidyanathan on mridangam, and S Karthick on ghatam.

Her music erased geographic borders when she was the first to incorporate Abhang, a Western Indian musical form, into a traditional, South Indian concert.
