Workshop by Chitravina Ravi Kiran on Oothukadu 
"Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi was not merely a sahityakarta (lyricist) but a musician of high caliber. He has covered a wide range of musical forms right from kriti to kavadichindu. Until recently, there were very few who knew of compositions other than the lively ones such as Alaippayude kanna, Kuzhaloodi manam ellam and Pullai piravi tara venum. But the reality is that Venkata Kavi has composed in so many levels - from the simple to the scholarly.
He has revealed his adeptness in many musical forms like kriti, tillana, kavadichindu. He has made use of different types of kritis apart from the conventional ones with Pallavi, Anupallavi, and Charana. Venkata Kavi has also composed a few shlokas and several poems, free verses and even unconventional metric pieces similar to Arunagirinathar’ s thirupughaz
