Saastha Preethi, Mattancherry, Kochi


Mattancherry Saastha Preethi celebrations for the year 2009 began with Sri S Mahadevan‘s Vocal concert.

Mahadevan started the concert with Saveri Varnam Sarasooda, followed by Girijasutham, in Vasantha ragam (a composition of Violin Vidwan B Sasikumar)

Appan Avatharitha in Kharaharapriya was rendered briskly followed by Gopalakrishna Bharathi’s Sabhapathikku in Abhogi.

Vachaspathi ragam was choosed for Parathpara Parameswara, a Papanasam Sivan composition, followed by Shyama Sastri composition Mayamma in Ahiri.

A fast paced Sarasasamadana in Kapinarayani ragam was very interesting to listen before the main composition Deekshithar‘s Balagopala in Bhairavi.

Tukkadas Irakkam Varamal in Behag, Sri Hariharasutha Palayamam, MD Ramanathan‘s Bagesri composition Sagara Sayana Vibho were also included.
