Vishamakaara Kannan (oothukkadu krithi) . Janmashtami special. Natyasala school of Dance. Aiswarya V

Krishna Janmashtami, also known simply as Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, is an annual Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. It is observed according to the Hindu lunisolar calendar, on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in Shraavana or Bhadrapada (depending on whether the calendar chooses the new moon or full moon day as the last day of the month), which overlaps with August or September of the Gregorian calendar.
It is an important festival, particularly in the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism.Dance-drama enactments of the life of Krishna according to the Bhagavata Purana , devotional singing through the midnight when Krishna was born, fasting , a night vigil , and a festival on the following day are a part of the Janmashtami celebrations.
Vishamakara Kannan
Ragam: Senjurutti
Talam: Adi Composer: Oothukadu Venkata Subbayyer
performed by Aiswarya V in connection with the' Pancha Rathna Natana Thilakam' event
This song is an interpretation of Lord Krishna's actions around Gopikas when his mother Yashoda is not around. The Gopikas have a hard time controlling him, and this song is actually quite a funny description of his mischievous, playful nature. Although the song feels like it might come under the Folk or Light music genre, it is in fact a very clever composition that is to be considered purely Carnatic Classical. Another interesting feature is that The composer uses direct quotes from the situation, making it much more realistic. Another intriguing aspect is how the tone of the Gopikas changes throughout the song. At first, they think of Krishna as a naughty but sweet boy. However, by the end of the song, they are tired of his proceedings, and are even stuck in a situation where they are blackmailed to not complain about him to his mother.
The Pallavi and Anupallavi describe how Krishna is always high-spirited, calling him Kanna (little one). The first charanam illustrates how he tries convincing the Gopikas by playing his flute, saying "Give me a little butter". In the second charanam, Krishna asks a neighboring Gopika to sing a song in the ragam Mukhari. She then tells him that she doesn't know anything in Mukhari. The prankish Krishna then pinches her, and while she cries, says, "This is Mukhari ragam". And in the third charanam, Krishna makes a hole in a pot full of curd to slowly drink it. He then tells his friends that he will hold some curd in his hands, so that when his mother's friends come over and try to hold him in their hands, he can smother it all over them. He then demands the Gopikas to keep the pot of butter uncovered, and that they should not complain to his mother about his mischief. If not, he would publicly say, "Your mother, grandmother, aunt and grandfather, are all thieves".
