Javalis are attractive compositions of light and pleasing nature. With their lilting gait and exquisite melody, Javalis have secured a prominent place in dance and music concerts. Like Padams the underlying theme of Javalis is ‘Sringara Rasa’ depicting the Nayaka-Nayaki bhava.

Prof. T.R. Subramanyam, a musician and musicologist par excellence, is scholarly and original in his approach to music. He is a multi linguist and has a wide repertoire of songs. He is known for his mastery over Laya and his skill in rendering Ragam Tanam Pallavi is unrivalled. T.R.S, as he is popularly known, retired from the University of Delhi where he was a Professor in the Department of Music. As a teacher, he is unmatched for his enormous patience and extensive knowledge and is highly respected by all students of music. This DVD stands testimony to his caliber as one of the most sought after teachers. He is seen teaching 6 intricate Javalis to Dr. Radha Venkatachalam, Smt.Sitalakshmi Madhavan, and Dr.Sitalakshmi Nunna explicitly explaining the nuances in each of these compositions, making it viable for students of music to learn. Although Javalis may seem simple, they are obscure for a novice. Learning these Javalis from Sri T.R.S. himself is an invaluable experience for musicians and students.
