Wonderful wah! Kya baat hai! Great gayaki Ruchira ji.
All young artists must follow the practice of announcing details like the name of the raga, bandish, whose bandish it is, tal etc. before they start the rendition.
Learn the stage and performance etiquette from legends like Vidushi Ashwini Bhide Deshpande. 🙏 Even the greatest of greatest Ganasaraswati Padma Vibhushan Kishori tai Amonkar followed that practice.
(Maybe Ruchira did follow the practice and it was not included in this TH-cam upload) 🙏
