Varanasi still retains its reputation as cultural centre.Every year national artistes are invited to perform live before eager erudite audience. This video fails in capturing the true essence of performance (due to criss-crossing sounds from umpteen box and horn speakers as well as zealous photographers) -- Dr. Ragini Trivedi presents Raga Hamsadhwani with Pt. Kishor Bhatt on Tabla -- but succeeds in annotating the spirit of the city and public enthusiasm for Indian Classical music. The multi-tiered platforms of Dashashvamedh and other Ghat-s serve well to accommodate thousands of people
This recording is from Ganga Mahotsava organized at Varanasi in November 2008.
