An original contemporary collaboration between Indian classical dance and music that celebrates gender equality in Indian mythology. This collaboration, of Bharatanatyam, Mridangam, Kanjira and Konnakol, in Bahudari raga, Tisra Triputa talam, depicts the different manifestations of goddess Devi. As “Shankari” the consort of lord Shankara, as “Annai” the mother of Ganesha & Muruga, and as “Malai Magal” the daughter of the hills. At the heart of this classical piece is gender equality, portrayed through the description of Ardhanari, the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakthi into one body, an embodiment of equality between man and woman.

This Indian semi-classical song has popular versions by well-known singers J.Yesudas, Sooryagayathri, and film singer Niranjana Ramanan. This contemporary adaptation of the song, with added elements like harmonies and Double track, was conceptualized by Vocalist Madhu Iyer who is accompanied by Poornima Emani (Flute) and Akshay Anantapadmanabhan (Mridangam, Kanjira, Konnakol). The song starts with a Jathi piece taken from J.Yesudas’ version, then unfolds into an exchange between Konnakol and the Jathi, after which begins the Pallavi, Swagatham Krishna. The charanam of the piece is the highlight where the time signature changes. The arrangement now becomes contemporary even as the lyrics celebrate the famous Kalinga Narthana by Lord Krishna, which is conveyed by the union of all the instruments the Flute, Mridangam, Kanjira as well as the vocals.
