An early morning Hindustani Vocal recital by PadmaShri Pandit Venkatesh Kumar, in the open air under the shady trees, at ChitraKalaParishat, Bengaluru, is very refreshing.

The voice and melody of Pandit Venkatesh Kumar is simply amazing and has good control in his rendition.

He started with Raag "AhirBhairavi", continues for 40 minutes and then sang Raag "Jyesta" for 35 minutes.

He concluded his concert with a bhajan, very melodious piece.
