Madhava Lokanam: Cleveland Labs | Indian Classical Music

Composition of Maharaja Swati Tirunal, conceptualized for a Ragalabs presentation by instructor Lalit Subramanian. The krithi is part of the Maharaja's 'Kuchela Upakhyanam', the story of Sudama and Krishna. Sudama is filled with awe and wonder when he comes back home after visiting his childhood friend Krishna as he sees that his house is filled with riches. Sudama wonders, is it true that just by seeing Madhava, I now have infinite weath? As unconditional as a cloud that showers rain, He has accepted my simple offering and bestowed me with His grace!
