Dear Rasikas,

It is time to say goodbye to 2018 and welcome the new year 2019! We wish all our rasikas a very very happy, healthy and a prosperous new year!

'Varude Varude' is our special release to celebrate the dawn of new year 2019! The song is set in raga Abheri, composed and sung by Dr. Uma Ram. Dr. S Vasudevan, who has penned the lyrics for this song, has beautifully captured the energy, enthusiasm and the new hope that every new year brings with it. Vijay's mesmerising flute interlude and frills add extra flavour to this melodious number. Enjoy listening and please do share as much :)



Keep your quiz answers coming, as usual!

Have a great week and a great year ahead!
