This song is not Kamavardhini. It is Pantuvrali. It is ofet thought that pantuvarali is same as Kamavardini.

Reminds us of the UN concert ,where mami has also sung swarams with amma ! One amazing quality of mami is her control over kanakku & her smile towards the mridangist if she gave a good shot ! This definetly has been shadowed over Aishwarya who has sung swarams with exceptional sharpness !
