She began her concert with aalap of raag Bihag, followed by Vilambit Khayal with a ba ndish Kaise Sukh Sohe set to ek taal and the Dhrut Khayal with Ab Hoon Laalan Main Ka in teen taal.

She displayed striking mastery over the ragas and excellent support of harmonium by P. Madhusudhan and Tabla by Sunil Mudgalkar rendered the concert quite impressive. She concluded with a Tarana in ek taal.

Dr. Ramakanth Katti, an ENT surgeon from Hyderabad presented on the flute extensive aalap in Maruva and then Vilambit in ek taal.
