2) hariji complementedsadhnaji for her brilliant rendition

3) since i dont know what a taan is here is what pallavi is (from wiki ofcourse but pretty apt)

In Carnatic music pallavi is the thematic line of a song. It is usually one cycle long and repeated twice or thrice in order to give the percussionist the idea of the chosen taalam. Sometimes it is repeated a few more times using different phrases of the Ragam to which the song is set.

The life of the song, the word pallavi consists of a wide range of items that are considered as a single item:

• pa is derived from padam which means word or phrase;
• lla comes from layam which means poetry or rhythm;
• vi is from vinyasam which means imagination

In Carnatic music, pallavi also forms a part of a special type of rendition called Ragam Thanam Pallavi. Ragam in this context is the initial alapana of chosen ragam (elaboration and exploration of its scale). Thanam is elaboration of the ragam using percussion syllables. Pallavi, a single line of one talam cycle duration, is chosen for further elaboration of the ragam in different speeds, octaves, ragam phrases, etc.

The Pallavi is mainly presented as the piece-de-resistance of the concert. In the Mysore-Bani style of concert presentation usually the Raga-Tana-Pallavi is presented in the same raaga as of the Varnam with which the concert is started

hope this helps
