[drone music] Bhaja Viswanatham Viswam Bharam – Lavanyaa Surendar: “Bhaja Vishwanatham,” it’s a musical, it’s kind of a group singing or a chorus together, where you can join the lead singer.

The instruments which are featured in this song are, Mridangam, which is a percussion instrument, and a string instrument, which is a Saraswathi Veena, and violin.

So, the percussion instruments brings out the rhythm of the song, and it helps the dancer adhere to that metronym of the song, as well.

The next, the Saraswathi Veena, accompanies; it mimics the voice of the musician.

It has a very unique sound, as well.

It’s very pleasant to hear and the sound is very unique.

And violin, as we all know, is, again, a string instrument that is used for accompanying, which again mimics the voice of the musician.

The messages will be on how you can visualize the lord of dance; what are his physical attributes, and characteristic attributes that you can associate with him.

And also the culture behind the music or any art form.
