Apparamabakthi Yento , preceded by a wholesome rendering ofPantuvarali

up next and was handled with all the embellishments and Bhava due
to it. The swaraprasthara was wholesome and was followed by the
thani avartanam of the mridangist . For RTP the artists chose Hindoolam
and did full justice to every aspect. In the swarar",gamalika,
