Very well sung. He is always very good. But is it really proper to begin a kriti with the Anupallavi or Charanam? What was the idea in the mind of the composer when he penned it? I feel kritis must be rendered from the beginning.

[@YashRakeshGawade]

Starting with the Anupallavi was a common practice in the older days. Some kritis are almost always started with the Anupallavi. For example, 'Ela Ni Daya Radu' in Ragam Athana. That Kriti almost exclusively is started from the Anupallavi, to the extent that on many instances people don't even refer to it by its Pallavi. They just say 'Balakanakamaya' which is actually the Anupallavi. People even say Shri Tyagaraja himself sung it in that format. One comes back to the Pallavi anyway. Even though I myself prefer if one starts with the Pallavi, there is nothing wrong with doing otherwise.
