This is a unique piece on Lord Aiyappan, created by Ravikiran wholly in Adi tala, Khanda Gati. Though it is flowing mostly on the beat, it calls for virtuosity to handle the fast medium tempo the piece has been set in and to also indulge in improvisations like Kalpana Swaras.

It was presented by Vishnudev Namboothiri with:

VVS Murari - Violin
Trivandrum Balaji - Mrdangam
Sunil Kumar - Kanjira

Hailed as "Mozart of India" (Wisconsin State Journal & Belgium TV) and known for his "Teasing precision & dazzling effects" (New York Times) and for "Taking Indian music to new audiences" (CNN), Ravikiran's maiden stage appearance was at age two. He presented vocal concerts from age 5 & chitravina concerts from 12. Globally renowned for his concept of Melharmony (www.melharmonymusic.com), Ravikiran is among the most prolific composers in the world today with over 1100 compositions in 5 languages, including dance, operatic & Orchestral pieces.

Ravikiran is the only composer to have composed a song on each one of the 108 Divya Deshams (in only 45 days), 72 Mela Raga Mala Krtis (in only 36 days), 35-Tala Set (in 28 days) and Dashavatara Mala Krtis (in 4 days). His unique one off creations include 72-Mela Ragamalika Geetam, Pancha Gati Varnam, Dasha-Ranjani Tillana, Pancha Raga Pancha Tala Pancha Jati Malika Tillana, several types of Swarakshara songs including Schematic Swarakshara Krtis, to name a few. He has composed songs or ragas in honour of Buddha, Vyasa, Adi Shankara, Shri Ramanuja, Carnatic Music Trinity, Ludwig van Beethoven (Raga: Veetavanam), Ramana Maharshi, Mahatma Gandhi, Kanchi Paramacharya, M S Subbulakshmi, Pt Ravishankar, guru Chitravina Narasimhan and Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi (Raga: Narendra Modini). He has also composed several socially inspirational pieces.

Ravikiran is also perhaps the most prolific melodist in Indian Classical music. He has set music to over 1400 compositions of other composers including the entire 1330 Tirukkural Verses of Tiruvalluvar (in merely 16 hours in Jan 2016), verses of Bhagavad Geeta, Sangam poetry, Adi Shankara, Purandara Dasa and a few contemporary lyricists. He has been acclaimed by several leaders of Nations including Prime Ministers and Presidents and has been decorated with a number of awards across the world for his contributions, being the first and/or youngest to receive honours such as the President of India's Sangeet Natak Akademi Award (at age 39).
