Composed as an auspicious musical offering to Lord Ganesha, this modular sample is a confluence of various instrumental grades like the violin, mridangam, ghatam, kanjira, and veena. Played before an audience of several thousand on the occasion of SPIC MACAY International Convention at IIT Madras, ‘Tillana-Behag’ is a melodic harmony in its own terms that lays the foundation of how great a global artist Chitravina N Ravikiran is.
