The ingredients of a successful Kutcheri briefly are:
Varnam - a brisk opening
piece, is a good way to
start your kutcheri and
set the tone for what is
to follow.
Krithi - a composition
with a fixed structure,
forms the building block
of the modern Kutcheri.
Ragam Tanam Pallavi
The main piece in the
Kutcheri, tests the
skills of the musician
to the fullest extent.
Tukkada - a short Krithi
normally appearing
towards the end of the
concert.
Tillana - a piece with
beautiful rhythmical &
musical passages and hence
a favourite of both
musicians and dancers
Thiruppugazh - a hymn in
praise of Lord Muruga
composed by
Arunagirinathar, available in
an amazing variety of
Ragams and Talams.
