How do the topic and the kritis connect ?

[quietlistener]

It was an exploration of the different hills/mountains that our land is blessed with. The song list covered a list of mountain kshetrams. Ranging from Tirupati, to Ahobilam, Bhadrachalam, Chamundeshwari hills, Kailasam, Sanjeevini malai (in the Purandara Dasa devarnama) to Pazhani. The discussion (after the end of the main piece) was about whether land supports the mountains, or vice versa. Very well explained and received by the audience.

Haven't heard this much, and I had my doubts. Thank you for clarifying.
