Vasant Utsav, April 2018 (San Ramon, CA)

Vasant Pallavi– The word “Pallavi” is derived from the Sanskrit word pallava, which means the bud of a leaf, or the shoots of a tree, which are very tender. As a small seed grows gradually into a large tree, in Pallavi, a tune is sung in a particular raga and it develops gradually into different varieties. Vasant Pallavi celebrates the onset of spring and is based on Basanta Raga and is set to Ektali Taal.
