The first session of festival was Nov 4th evening, after the formal inauguration , was graced by Pt Jasraj who sang for 75 mins out of his alloted time of 90 mins ! Accompanied on harmonium by Mukund Petkar , on tabla by Kedar Pandit and on Pakhwaj by Sukhad Munde , he started with expansive Puriya vilambit , madhyalay bandishes followed by famous drut bandish “Shyam kunvar more ghar aaye” ( श्याम कुंवर मोरे घर आए ) and quickly ended with a sankrit bhajan / abhang ( भजनः भजेत सर्वम् नवनीत ). The house full auditorium was delighted to see the veteran sing for them..short but sweet rendition within his alloted time !
