In a captivating celebration of Raagotsav at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, the renowned artist from Kerala, Shri Kalamandalam Jishnu Pratap, mesmerized the audience with his soul-stirring renditions of Ravana’s Kailasodharanam and Parvathi Viraham. The atmosphere resonated with divine fervor as the artist skillfully presented his raga sewa, offering a musical homage to Bhagwan Shri Ramlalla Sarkar.
The Raagotsav, a festival celebrating the essence of Indian classical music, found a unique expression in the rendition by Kalamandalam Jishnu Pratap. The choice of Ravana’s Kailasodharanam and Parvathi Viraham added a distinctive touch to the performance, narrating tales from Hindu mythology through the medium of classical music.
Ravana’s Kailasodharanam, a composition that delves into the narrative of the mighty demon king’s attempt to lift Mount Kailash, showcased the artist’s ability to weave intricate musical patterns that mirrored the drama and intensity of the mythological tale. The emotive nuances of Jishnu Pratap’s performance transported the audience into the heart of the story, where the clash between arrogance and divine power unfolded through the notes and melodies.
Following the dramatic rendition of Ravana’s Kailasodharanam, the artist seamlessly transitioned into Parvathi Viraham, a composition that explores the poignant separation of Goddess Parvathi from Lord Shiva. The emotional depth conveyed through the artist’s music resonated with the hearts of the listeners, creating a profound connection between the divine and the earthly realm.
The Raagotsav at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi served as a platform for artists like Kalamandalam Jishnu Pratap to bridge the gap between classical art forms and spiritual devotion. Through his musical expressions, the artist succeeded in transporting the audience to a realm where the divine and the artistic converged harmoniously.
