BANGALORE: Republic Day got off to a great start for a few Hindustani music lovers who were lucky to be at Chitrakala Parishath to listen to the morning ragas by vocalist Sanjeev Abhyankar. "I think it is absolutely an ideal morning concert atmosphere," the singer pointed out. The audience could not have agreed more.

He concluded his recital in Raga Sindhu Bhairavi with the composition "... Uddhav jog shikhaavana aaye... "
