Learn more about the music:
‘Kailasa Nathena’, is a Sanskrit devotional kriti (composition) in Raag Kambhoji composed by Muthuswamy Dikshitar (1775 – 1835). It is set to Raag Kambhoji which can portray rasas (emotions) like vira (valour) and sṛingara (romantic) very effectively.

With a sharp sense of coordination, the Malladi brothers perform this composition with enticing niravals (improvisation with lyrics) and swarakalpanas (improvisation using notes). While one swoops to the lower octave, the other immediately soars powerfully to the higher notes, bringing beautiful shades to the canvas. They introduce the raga with a detailed alapana, highlighting the colours of Kambhoji.

After finishing their bit, they provide ample opportunity to Vijayalakshmi to introduce the raga further with her dulcet and graceful phrases. She further explores Kambhoji with elegant glides and poignant, curly notes, paving the way further for them to embark on the kriti again. The brothers take the lead weaving short, simple but exquisite patterns, eventually involving the whole ensemble to replicate and improvise upon. 

Trichy Sankaran (mridangam) and Giridhar Udupa (ghatam) give a masterful support to the whole performance.
