100th episode of Kanyakumari’s ekaika raga series
The Hindu
A special instrumental concert showcased senior violinist Kanyakumari’s ekaika raga kriti treasure
In December 2019, violinist A. Kanyakumari began showcasing Tyagaraja’s ekaika raga kritis (only a single kriti in the raga) on the violin, releasing one every Friday on her Facebook handle.
Originally intended for that year’s December season, she continued exploring and launching these kritis every week. Recently, a ticketed online programme, ‘Shatha ekaika raga vaibhavam’, organised by Singapore-based organisations Chethas and Apsaras Arts Dance Company, celebrated the rendition of the 100th kriti.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
