In Puja Sangeeta offers two ragas in khayal style; the first is a late afternoon raga, Raga Puriya Dhanashree, inspired by the sunset and rendered through a singing which expresses joy and happiness; the second, Raga Lalita, is an evening raga, with some romantic overtones, taken at an incredible speed, which concretely proves SANGEETA's perfect vocal technique. Closing the programme we find an example of bhajan, a lyrical text of great emotional impact, which intends to portray the power and the greatness of Rama.
