59th Sawai: Pt. Jasraj

Sangat:
Tabla: Ramdas Palsule
Harmonium: Mukund Petkar
Mridangam: Parthasarathy
Bansuri: Shashank Parthasarathy
Vocal Support: Ratan Mohan Sharma and many other shishyas

Panditji started his performance with raga Jaijaiwanti (bada khyal in vilambit Ektal - jai jai siddhi followed by chhota khyal in madhyalaya Teental - daras deta yunhi). This featured the long three saptak meends and taans as only Pt. Jasraj can do.

Panditji continued his performance with mero mana saware (I think the raga was Des or Des Malhar) in Deepchandi.

Panditji concluded his performance with the popular Sanskrit bhajan - govinda damodara madhaveti in Nata Bhairav.

Overall it was good to have Panditji at Sawai. I personally enjoyed the rendering of 'govinda damodara madhaveti' a lot.
