A rare, unusual and extraordinary combination of great poems and sweet melody. A fresh and unique poetry recital programme which was exalted by veteran literates and music lovers. The poem of poet Shri Balkrishna Sitaram Mardhekar, a pioneer of new trend in Marathi Poems, remained away from a common reader of Marathi Literature because of untrue confusion and chaos created by the so-called critics.

Shri Ajgaonkar composed this programme keeping in mind to bring to light the neglected and unconsidered contribution of poet Mardhekar and his versatile poems by using medium of music. The title ‘Mardhekaranchi Kavita – Ek Nadanubhav’ itself gives to understand that poems be experienced through the music.
