This is truly extraordinary! The shuddha dhaivatha usage is everywhere. No one plays Dikshitar krithis quite like her.

What a beautiful rendition ;(. As vageesh points out below, the shuddha deivata usages are just amazing. And that "dNpmgm" at sumanasAr"AdhitAbjamukhi" at 3:52-3:54 is just too much..brilliance.

What an awesome rendition! :-)

Thanks for uploading this. It is a treat to watch her fingers move so skillfully on the fretboard at this age.
