The varnam is sparkling. Any luck in identifying the composer? Perhaps Lakshman can help?

Just came upon this. A friend of mine who is from the BVR-BVL family, told me that this varnam is composed by their nephew SV Seshadri. Apparently, he has several other compositions to his credit and is known to be a very knowledgeable rasika. I will try to reach my friend to see if I can get a list of his compositions.

If memory serves me right, I think he also wrote a piece in "Sruti" about the brothers under the title "The Bhavani Duo".

This is only tagential to this thread:
RDA's ability to attract quality talent never ceases to amaze me!

Palghat Rama Bhagavatar - IIRC, he is the grandfather of Smt. Roja Kannan and Dr. Meena Subramanian (both of them are reputed bharatanATyam dancers).

coolkarniji: That was indeed a delightful tribute to the stellar duo! Never heard of the ShrImaNi piece at all.
