The album contains two tracks. The first composition is a kriti set in Raga Lathangi, a melakarta raga classified under the 63rd melakarta in the Carnatic system. The second track is a tillana in Ragamalika, a format that combines multiple ragas within a single piece. Both works showcase Balamuralikrishna’s improvisational techniques and adherence to traditional gayaki styles.
