Dikshitar 250 - Concert by TM Krishna | Kumarasvaminam, Asaveri

Asaveri, Raga as we know it today, incorporates both chathushruti rishabham, and shuddha rishabham. However, this was not the case historically, Dikshitar help us discover the original form of Asaveri through the use of only shuddha rishabham. Two compositions in this Raga, the popular vara kirthanam, Chandram Baja Manasa, and the less popular Kumarasvaminam uses the original form of Asaveri. This an excerpt of Kumarasvaminam, from concert performed by Sangita Kalanidhi TM Krishna, with Sangita Kalanidhi RK Shriramkumar on Violin, M Arun Prakash on the Mridangam, and Anirudh Athreya on Kanjira for Gurughaamrta’s special concert series celebrating Dikshitars250 on 24 March 2025. #dikshitar250 #itsmuddusvami #classicalmusic #liveconcert #tmkrishna
