Uttara Kannada (2025)

This poem, written by the legendary Jayanth Kaikini, is taken from his collection of poems - "Kotitheertha" (1982) . It beautifully captures the culture and the spirit of Uttara Kannada, and also reflects on it with a retrospective perspective. This place holds a very special place in my heart. Its warm and welcoming nature makes it a home for anyone who visits. This song is my interpretation and adaptation of his words, intertwined with my own experiences, memories, and affection for the region. It is my heartfelt ode to the land of Uttara Kannada and its beautiful culture.
