It is a composition of 18 chapters in Sanskrit in sringara rasa. It is sung in the temples in Kerala as sopana sangeeth. How it happened to arrive in Kerala all the way from Orissa is a wonder. Bhakthi bhava of Radha towards Krishna in the lyrical form is a great pleasure to hear. Hari Om! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
