The performance involved playing many different talas simultaneously using instruments like cymbals. The performance also showcased the different types of respect that Jain Tirthankaras have for each other. The performance began with five types of songs that are pleasing to the ears, sung by the great and venerable gods. The air that originates in the navel rises to the chest, where it becomes sound. These sounds are known as Shuddha, Bhinna, Vesara, Gauri, and Sadharana. These sounds, along with other grama ragas, create 22 shrutis in the ears. The performance then proceeded to demonstrate the 30 different types of sounds that are created by the combination of the seven notes (Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni) in different combinations (7, 5, 8, 3, and 7). These 22 shrutis are Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni. These six ragas are pleasing to the ears of humans. The first raga is called Takka raga, which consists of the seven notes and both gramas (Sadja grama and Madhyama grama).
The performance also included the five types of ragas that are associated with the eight bhasharagas and two vibhasharagas. The seven types of jatis in the Sadja grama are sung by the Kinnaras, and they are worshipped by all the Ghata-devas. The Hindola raga, which is in the Madhyama grama, is known to captivate and attract women all over the world. It is home to four bhasharagas. The Malava-Kaishika raga has eleven jatis that are pleasing to the ears of humans. (In total, there are eighteen jatis. The raga is sung in six jatis and is marked by two bhasharagas. The pure Sadja is sung in seven jatis.)
The performance concluded with a beautiful and melodious song that was sung in eighteen jatis, which are a combination of seven and eleven. The performance was a beautiful display of the different types of music and dance that are associated with Jainism. It was a truly inspiring and uplifting experience.
