Rakesh Chaurasia at Basaveshwara Nagar

Vani Education Centre has many Hindustani recitals in its list this season.
Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia's Bansuri concert is scheduled for the Monday evening.

We are told that  the maestro is advised rest by his doctors and so his nephew and disciple Rakesh Chaurasia would be in concert.

Sree Vani School auditorium always has a full house for the concerts. And it is so this evening too.


After playing the Hindustani flute for more than an hour and a half, young Rakesh announces that his 'quota' is over for the day and invites requests from the audience.
And requests pour in. Bhairavi, Bilaval, a Tulsidas Bhajan ...

Rakesh chooses to begin with Bhairavi and moves on making a garland of ragas as a ragamalika and ends with Desh. That fulfills most requests from the audience.
Happy listeners. Happy Rakesh. Happy organisers!
