Aruna Sairam performs at Isha Center during the auspicious festival of Maha Shivaratri - celebrated annually in reverence of Lord Shiva. It is the day He was married to the goddess Parvati.

Aruna Sairam commences the program with the ‘Sabhapatikku’ dedicated to the dancing Nataraja of Chidambaram. This krithi, composed by Gopala Krishna Bharatiyar, evokes a deep feeling of devotion towards Lord Shiva. "It is enough if we just once utter His name ‘Siva Chidambaram’. For attaining salvation nothing else is needed."

Sabhapatikku veru deivam samanamaguma Tillai
