Day 1 : SE 3 : 5:30 PM to 6:35 PM
Rendition started with soul touching Raga Puriya Dhanashri with Bol written by Pt. Kumar Gandharva, Kalapini ji’s father and guru. This is also Birth Centenary of Pt. Kumar Gandharv. It was followed by a very old parampara based bandish in Raga Hameer in Mardya Laya. As the audience thought its end of the rendition Kalapini ji basked us into a very beautiful Hori rendition Mruga Naini Tero Yaar ri Rasiya….. After this Kalapini ji asked audience what they would like to listen to and we all settled to a very beautiful Nirguni Bhajan – Sunta hai guru gyani…. The Bhajan invoked baragi bhava and Kalapini ji took time to express that she remembered her Father and Guru Pt. Kumar Gandhav delivering this rendition, which was his last performance. It was a wonderful performance.
