Very nice srikrishna - thanks for sharing. The sangathis have been sung so beautifully!
I am sure we have some budding vidushis and vidwans there!

A true 'ANJALI' to the 'MAHAN'. Very commendable effort by the techer and the taught.

They sing in unison and in a soothing way--very impressive, considering there are about a dozen of them, and some of them very young. Congratulations to Rajarajeshwari Bhat for teaching the children to sing so well.
Chitravina Ravikiran speaks of synchronization and Sruti alignment in their singing. Houston Minakshi temple's Mini Tiruvaiyaru group singing sounds more tranquil than the one we hear at the ArAdhanA from the banks of kAvEri.
Wish the video camera had not moved around that much in the beginning :)

I second that! Most programs with group singing with young kids sounds off-tune. This was amazing!

Kudos to the team!
