Yatra – Melodies of pilgrimage conducted by Rajandra Vadivale

Yatra presents a pilgrimage to seven auspicious mountain temples across India. The deities honored in these temples – Surya, Brahma, Mahishasura Mardhini, Shiva, Vishnu, Murugan, and Aiyyapan – teach us the fundamental principles of life. From the birth of the cosmos to the creation of life, the destruction of evil, the infinite nature of life that has neither beginning nor end, the removal of ignorance, the attainment of wisdom, as well as the final step of renunciation that leads to liberation, Yatra is a celebration of the journey of life.

This production will feature original music, composed by Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society Gurus T R Sundaresan, Guru K Sivaraman,  Guru Aalepey Lakshmi Vinayak and Guru Sonali Sinha Biswas in 2013, and will be conducted by V Rajandra.

The Naadalaya Ensemble is a new classical ensemble led by veteran conductor Mr Rajandra Vadivale. Under his guidance, upcoming musicians from different schools train together to present Carnatic and Hindustani music in an orchestra format.
