Marking Kojagiri with memorable melodies

| OCTOBER 12, 2019, 03:21 AM IST

A music program of popular Marathi bhaavgeet titled Chaandanyaat Phirtana will be presented on Saturday, October 12, at Ravindra Bhavan Margao and on Sunday, October 13, at Kala Academy Panaji. 

This musical program is organized on the occasion of Kojagiri Pournima, also known as Sharad Pournima. It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu Calendar month - “Ashwin”. As the monsoon comes to an end, the moon shines brightly in the sky and it is this moment that is celebrated where people stay awake and sing through the night. It is also believed that Goddess Mahalaxmi descends on Earth that night. 

Goan artists Dr Pravin Gaonkar and Pallavi Patil will be singing popular bhaavgeet songs sung by various legendary singers such as Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale, Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Vasantrao Deshpande, Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki, Arun Date, Jaivant Kulkarni, Suresh Wadkar, Suman Kalyanpur and Anuradha Paudwal. The artists will be accompanied by Vishnu Shirodkar on keyboard, Sachin Jagtap on flute, Rohit Bandodkar on tabla, Dhanraj Madkaikar on harmonium, Prof. Taranath Hollegadde on side rhythm, Avdhut Chari on handsonic and Sushil Kumar Dwivedi on guitar. Both these programs will be anchored by Prof. Sangeeta Abhyankar.

Both these shows are open to all music lovers.
