Ravikiran's PUSHPANJALI | Kamalamanohari | Dance: Bhavajan & Radhe Jaggi | Direction: Leela Samson

Ravikiran originally composed this as an opening piece in his Mahabharata Yuddha Parva dance production but changed the lyrics to make it appropriate for any concert, as a Pushpanjali that actually serves as a welcome to audiences. This was among the pieces presented in a special event Dance Margam concert of Ravikiran's Compositions for Brahma Gana Sabha by Smt Leela Samson & various talented dancers on 5 Jan 2018 to an overflowing audience that included some of the top exponents of Bharatanatyam, Kuchippudi as well as leading musicians.
Dance: Bhavajan & Radhe Jaggi
Vocal: Anahita & Apoorva Ravindran
Nattuvangam: Girish Madhu
Mrdangam: Karthikeyan Ramanathan
Flute: Sujith Nayak
Violin: Sanjay Suresh
Sangeet Samrat Chitravina N Ravikiran, hailed as the "Mozart of India" (Wisconsin State Journal) and renowned for his "Teasing precision & dazzling effects" (New York Times) and for "Taking his music to new audiences" (CNN TV) discovered a new raga, Choodamani at age 2 and composed his first full piece at age 11.
With over 800 compositions to his credit in 5 languages - Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada - encompassing various music and dance forms like geetam, varnam, krti, tillana, padam, javali, chindu, bhajan, kavuttuvam, shabdam and his own innovative form swarakrti, maestro Ravikiran is among the most prolific topline composers in Indian Classical Music and Dance. His compositions include operatic and multi-cultural international dance productions such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Lakshmi Prabhavam, Vinayaka Vaibhavam, Almighty Trinity, Savitri, Cosmos, Illusion to Resolution, Panchakriya and Pushed to the Edge.
Ravikiran was the first to compose in each of the 35 talas of Carnatic Music and also the 72-mela-ragamalika geetam. He is known for exploring interesting concepts such as "schematic svarakshara" pieces (where svaraksharas themselves have an underlying theme in each line like SR - RR - GR - MR or S,D - R,D - G,D- M,D etc) and innovative approaches to incorporating Raga-mudra (name of raga) in multiple ways within the same composition (like in the krti, "Adharam nee enakku" where the raga name Kedaram appears directly or suggestively 8-9 times). Known for discovering ragas like Keshavapriya, Vaishnavi, Katyayani, Mohini and Andhakarini, Ravikiran has also composed hundreds of pallavis (often extempore in his concerts) as well as introduced new approaches in rhythm including Seamless Korvais and Mathemagical patterns.
