The title track of this dance drama is “ShanmukhaKandanum MohanaKannanum”, a masterful song that interchanges between Ragas Shanmukhapriya and Mohana to describe both Krishna and Muruga.

Harini Sridar (Vocal) Sri Janaradan Rao (Mridungum), Sri Jayaram Kikkeri (Flute), Sri Sangeeth Thomas (Keyboard), Sri Dayakar (Violin), and Sri DV Prasanna Kumar (Nattuvangam).
