Vidushi Dr Ashwini Bhide Deshpande

Dasra Pahat is a unique concept invented by Shashwatsoor. Dasra is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. Shashwatsoor has been organising these early morning concerts on the auspicious day of Dasra since 2014

We were extremely fortunate to have none other than vidushi Dr Ashwini tai Bhide Deshpande to grace our first ever Dasra concert.
Alongwith the maestros Pt. Vishwanath and pandita Seematai Shirodkar for the accompaniment.

Wishing the legendary vocalist vidushi Padma tai Talwalkar, a very happy birthday. May your blessings be always with us tai🙂🙏

Legendary vocalist vidushi Padmatai Talwalkar astonished the audience in the Morning Baithak organised by Shashwatsoor on 18th November 2018. She opened the concert with Raga Todi, followed by soulful Raga Ahir Bhairav.
Audience was astonished by her recital of Jod raga Hindol-Bahar after the interval.Which was followed by the sublime rendition of Alhaiya Bilawal. Tai concluded the concert with famous Marathi Abhang "Aga Vaikunthichya Raya". Tai was ably accompanied on harmonium by Pt.Makaranda Kundale ji and Yati Bhagwat on Tabla. Padmatai's Disciples Ankita Damle and Shruti Athavle provided sincere vocal support. This was a concert to be cherished forever. Shashwatsoor is extremely thankful to Shri Mukund and Ketaki Marathe and entire Marathe family for making us available there house for our baithak. Shashwatsoor is touched by their warm hospitality.This was the last baithak in the 2nd series of Shashwatsoor Baithak.

The first session of the अनवट राग महोत्सव was very good.
Pratima Tilak began with the Raga Gauri and then presented a wonderful Khokar.
Vishwas Shirgaonkar presented two jod ragas, Bhoop-Nat & Adambari Kedar (Kedar & Shankara).
Yati Bhagwat on Tabla & Siddhesh Bicholkar on Harmonium were outstanding.
Prof Milind Malshe who compered the program explained the motivation and historical background behind this annual festival. This is the ninth year of this महोत्सव.

In the अनवट राग महोत्सव २०१८, the second day's session continued both the themes of the first day, namely गौरी & नट.

Dr Meenal Deshpande, a specialist in जोड-रागs, gave a poised & effortless performance, singing ललिता-गौरी & नट-कामोद. She concluded her concert with राग सिंधुरा.

Prof Milind Malshe continued the theme of गौरी with two compositions in राग मालीगौरा, which is a combination of पूरिया & गौरी.
His performance of the rare raga कौसी कानडा (नायकी अंग) followed by a drut composition in नायकी कानडा was highly exuberant particularly in the upper octave.
Yati Bhagwat on Tabla & Siddhesh Bicholkar on Harmonium gave a sparking display as accompanists.

On Sunday morning, in the third session of the अनवट राग महोत्सव, Jyoti Khare presented राग बिलासखानी तोडी through vilambit and drut bandishes. It was an admirable presentation.
The presentation of three अनवट ragas of the other traditions of Agra & Gwalior gharanas by Nishad Bakre was captivating. It added a different flavor. Bakre sang Ragas कुकुभ बिलावल, खट & भैरव-बहार.

In the final session, Dr Jyoti Kale presented elegant bandishes in ragas प्रदीपकी & शाम की देसकार (मारवा अंगाचा देसकार).

The real climax to the महोत्सव was the singing of Dr Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande. She took the महोत्सव to great heights. The initial खेमकल्याण was sung elaborately in a lilting manner. Then she presented a fantastic bandish in one of the rarest ragas of Jaipur Gharana, called गोधनी (also known as सुनवंती) which she had received from Pt Ratnakar Pai, followed by her own composition in that raga. Ashwini tai ended her concert with a brilliant raga परज.
