1.Ramapriya varnam -Taana varnam in Kannada - nice brigas and uruttals in charanam line - her own composition - aptly varnam on Lord Aanjaneya in raga Ramapriya
2.paahi shaure- rupaka- Swati Thirunal - nattai - lot of swaraakshara prayogams were shown clearly - kalpanaswarams @pallavi- she took this one a bit slow speed but was nice - also her swarams were good but missed the usual jet speed fireworks
Swaras done nicely and violin support superb but still the proceedings sagged a bit - enjoyable nonetheless
3. Ninu sevinchina - subbaraaya Sasthri- misra chapu -Yadukula kamboji - swarams at Parthasarathi Swamy - done v tastefully
4. ⁠Amruthavarshini- ennai nee maravaade - fantastic fast speed swarams at pallavi - more than 20 rounds single awarthana sarvalagu swarams were done in brisk manner
5. Kharaharapriya alapanai started - Excellent alapanai by AMVji- very elaborate and lot of anaadaswaram style phrases and akaarams and she got applause from audience 3 times during alapanai itself

[HarishankarK]

Could be Janaki pathe I think maybe

[HarishankarK]

Her voice is very beautifully and very graceful and full of poise - over the years her voice has become thicker but also heavier and stronger

[HarishankarK]

Voice has such felicity and malleability- such an amazing voice culture she has got
She ended alapanai with a lot of telling phrases and fun filled phrases and folkish phrases too reminding of yesteryear vidwaans

Now looks more like Chakkani Raaja

[HarishankarK]

No Tyagaraja kruthi so far
Really Hope it is a rare kruthi like kori sevimpa and not done and dusted ones

Kharaharapriya alapanai reply -Vid Rajeev violin alapanai also so v nice

[HarishankarK]

Janaki pate it is !!
Niraval and swarams at dasharatha tanaya

[HarishankarK]

First speed lot of pidis shown
Second speed niraval just 3-3 rounds but done v nicely without chopping words
Swarams now
V nice tani
