Ravikiran has explored several gatis (nadais) and Talas in his Varnams including Khanda Gati, Tishra Gati (both Adi talam), Mishra Chapu and Sankeerna Chapu besides a Pancha gati Varnam in Bilahari. This Telugu piece in the charming raga Kapinarayani is an equally interesting creation of his as it starts off with Tishra Gati but shifts to Chaturashra in the Charanam, naturally picking up the tempo as well.
