Sitting on top of mountain, guarding the big city, all auspicious vinAyaka
For art to grow here, to give happiness to those who see, stand with them (help) Lord of ganAs.

As the trunk that swings around blesses, to remove the hurdles brought by the fate, keeping the ancient GOD's sleeping form in Srirangam and getting a knock in your head ...

(charaNam)
Trusting (you) we left the country and came (here). Singing good music we stand praying to you (for the) Knowledge of dance and music to flourish, good hearts that seek to be happy ...

I was at the arangetram and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to see the dance on Shiva which was done after intermission and "Bhajare manasa" and thillana again. Please do upload the video if available.

Shiva piece "naDamADi thirinda" and "bhajarE rE mAnasa" are now online.

Excellent. Please post more from this concert.

This is not a vocal concert. This is the invocation song from the Bharatanatya arangetram of Megha Ranganathan. Another song from this dance arangetram "nalla irukkudaaDi" is online for viewing.
