Siddhartha Belmannu's next piece was in Raag Basant Mukhari. The first bandish was composed by his guru Pt. Vinayak Torvi and set to vilambit tilvada followed by a tarana composed by Pt. Ramashray Jha.
Anirudh also gives us a fascinating anecdote about Pt. Bhimsen Joshi in this connection.
Siddhartha was accompanied by Sumith S Naik on tabla and Sameer Havaldar on harmonium. Tanpura support was provided by Chethan Thungabhadrappa and Srilakshmi Belmannu.
