| | Tyagaraja Aradhana at Sydney |
 | | The juniors' chaste rendering of even difficult kritis on the first day, with no blemishes in pronunciation, taalam, or sruti, elicited admiration from the audience, leaving no doubt that the legacy of Carnatic music was in capable hands for the next few generations. |
 | | The customary rendering of the Pancharatna kritis (preceded by a brief pooja) on the second day was followed by a dance presentation choreographed by Padma Balakumar, and her disciples Malavika Srinath, Bhavya Bharadwaj, Sruthi Ravi, Vasudha Shiva, Nandhita Rao, and Aparna Balakumar. |
 | | This initiative was an attempt to illustrate Tyagaraja's prodigious output in a codified and organised manner and succeeded to a large extent with the seniors' co-operation. |
