  1. Shyama Shastri used the mudra “Shyama Krishna” in his compositions, marking his devotion to the divine. His kritis, mainly in praise of Goddess Kamakshi, are known for their rhythmic complexity and emotional depth. His songs often contained intricate Talas (rhythmic cycles), making them unique. Despite composing fewer kritis than the other two members of the Trinity, his works remain significant due to their rich lyrical, melodic and rhythmic content.
