Raagotsav is delighted to present a mesmerizing performance by the eminent Hindustani classical vocalist, Shri. Sadashiv Aiholi. In this captivating concert, Shri. Aiholi brings to life the soulful Vachana, "Chakorake Chandramana."

The Vachana, a form of rhythmic prose unique to Kannada literature, is known for its profound spiritual and philosophical messages. "Chakorake Chandramana" is a beautiful composition that draws a parallel between the mythical bird, Chakor, which is believed to yearn for the moon, and the human soul's longing for divine connection.

Shri. Sadashiv Aiholi's rendition is a sublime blend of devotion and artistry. His rich, emotive voice captures the essence of the Vachana, transporting the listeners to a realm of introspection and spiritual awakening. With his deep understanding of the nuances of Hindustani classical music, Shri. Aiholi infuses the composition with a depth of emotion that resonates with the audience.

Accompanying him on Tabla is the talented Shri. Nisar Ahmed, whose rhythmic precision and intricate patterns provide a perfect complement to the vocal performance. The harmonious interplay between the vocals and the Tabla creates a dynamic and engaging musical dialogue.

Adding to this rich tapestry of sound is Shri. Basu Hiremat on the Harmonium. His melodic support and sensitive accompaniment enhance the overall texture of the performance, providing a soothing and resonant backdrop to Shri. Aiholi's powerful vocals.

Together, these accomplished artists create a performance that is not only a feast for the ears but also a balm for the soul. Raagotsav is proud to bring you this exquisite rendition of "Chakorake Chandramana," a testament to the timeless beauty of Hindustani classical music and the rich cultural heritage of Vachana literature.
