Mayil (The celebration of a Peacock) by Kavya Muralidaran:
An enthralling composition that describes the experience of the nature that eagerly creates the ambience to witness the glorious performance of a Peacock. The abstract interpretation of Guru Madurai R Muralidaran has been creatively penned in a way that brings out the essence and the beauty of the composition from a peacocks perspective. In this song, the peacock looks at nature and profoundly sets off its performance as the nature accompanies and creates the ambience for the peacock to experience the magic of its dance that's unseen to many. The clouds begin to bundle, the breeze that passes through the bamboos tunes and scores the musicality, on the other hand, the rhythm of the thunder and the stage that is made of green wet grass, accompanied by the flashing lightning beautifies the dance of the magnificent peacock with the rain showering in every direction. The composition comprehends that the peacock is the first creation of the god which made mankind realise the art of dance in every human being. This composition is set to Rasikapriya Ragam and Adi Talam composed and choreographed by Kalaimamani Madurai R Muralidaran.
