Purandaradasa is known as the Father of Karnatak Classical Music. Just like other Dasas, Purandaradasa also travelled far and wide in the country (by walk) and visited a number of pilgrim places. While doing so, he composed quite a few Devaranamas to bring out the salient features of those places.

Surabhi Gana Kala Mandira is presenting a Musical Feature, Naada Rasa Teertha Yaatre, which gives a glimpse of some of the holy places of South India that were visited by Purndaradasa. Even though it is a Karnatak Classical Music based programme, visual medium and drama are also included to make it more attractive.

The Feature is conceived and directed by Dr. Sukanya Prabhakar and enacted by the students of ‘Surabhi.’ Vidushis Harini, Medha and Nithyasri are presenting the classical music along with violin support by Vidu. Shruthi and mridanga by Vid. G.S. Ramanujan.

The programme is arranged under the aegis of Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysuru, on May 28 from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Ashrama auditorium in Yadavagiri. All music-lovers may attend.
