Glimpses from the special thematic musical concert “Navaratriya Trishaktiyaru” – a beautiful concept exploring the deeper meanings of Navaratri was conceived by Dr Meera Rajaram Pranesh and was presented along with her students- Dr.Shivashankari, Dr.Ragini Sanath and Vid. Bhagawathi Nagendra on 29th of September 2025 at Kalakompound under the aegis of arogya seva in association with Shyamalakrishna sangita sabha. The lecture demonstration introduced the concept of Navaratri and emphasised the importance of worship of either the Navadurga or the Trishakti-s — Mahā Lakṣmī, Mahā Sarasvatī, and Mahā Pārvatī. Each of their significance was explored through insights from Puranas and ancient texts and through musical compositions of different composers as Sri Muttuswamy Deeksitar, Sri Muttaiah Bhagawathar, Sri Jayachamaraja Wodeyar who have explored each of these dimensions through the compositions. The team was ably supported on violin by Vid.Krishna Kashyap on the violin and Vid.Phaneendra Bhaskar on the mridangam.
