Vatsala tai Bhimsen Joshi Award was bestowed upon Begum Parveen Sultana in presence full packed audience. Begum Parveen ji expressed her gratitude and recounted her deep connection with Joshi Family. She said that she now needs to work more harder since she has now been given this award. What an expression from already a living legend at her 73 years of age.
She is suffering from Viral Fever but still decided to carry on with the performance.
Begum ji started the rendition with Raga Rageshwari. It was a splendid performance despite she being under antibiotics and fatigued. She ended her rendition with Bhavani Dayani Maa… in Bhairavi stretching across all 3 saptaks, especially her gifted ability to reach to the top of tar saptak.
With this last Session of 4th day of Sawai Gandhava Festivsl concluded.
