- Apart from performing traditional and standard items, concerts often feature vivadi ragas and kritis composed by Kotiswara Iyer in particular with aesthetic raga alapana, niraval and swaraprasthara presentations wherever possible.
- In the recent past, some of these have been elaborations of Nasikabhushani, Chalanata, Paavani, Rasikapriya and Ragavardhani.
- Instinctively attracted to certain ragas that have a brisk, melodic appeal like Garudadhvani, Katana Kutuhalam, Navarasa Kannada, Chenchukambhoji, Malavi, Bangala and Janaranjani.
- Considerable research conducted on some of the above ragas, resulting in articles musical journals .
- Deeply interested in researching the compositions of Mysore Vasudevacharya, Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar and Kotiswara Iyer in order to unearth and present compositions hitherto not presented.
