 Concert Review: Madurai T.N.Seshagopalan - Sify.com
It seemed to warm up the atmosphere a little and as is his wont Seshagopalan sprang a surprise by singing next raga "Bhavapriya", a melakartha raga rarely heard in the concerts but known to the cognoscenti as "pradimadhyama of Thodi".

Seshagopalan made it really a garland of ragas stringing together a host of ragas in the kalpanaswaras which included among others ragas like Punnagavarali, Nalinakanti, Reetigowla, Kuntalavarali, Kalyanavasantham, Arabhi and Sree.
