I attended Thyagaraja Aradhana 2008 in Thiruvayaru on Pancharatnam Day.
After Nadaswarams and 'Chetulara' in Flute the artistes had straighaway gone ahead with 'Jagadanda.....' and rest of Pancharatna Kritis.
Is it not a convention to sing 'Sree Maha Ganapathee' in Saurashtram and 'Guru Leka' Gowri Manohari...
I have observed this sequence in all Thyagaraja Utsavams in Chennai. Was this an inadvertant or is this the practice followed differently in Thiruvayaru.
