Brilliant piece... Divine and God bless. Here is my understanding...
He starts off with Brndavana Saranga (BS). Transposing Ma of BS as Sa, she elaborates in Suddha Saveri. 
At about 4.04, he swiftly moves to Mohanam. Transposing Pa of Mohanam as Sa, she still maintains Suudha Saveri.
At about 6.15, she glides into Chandrakauns. Transposing Ma of Chandrakauns as Sa, he elaborates Sumanesa Ranjani (SR aka Madhukauns). The Swara rendering here is brilliant. For the same swarasthanas, they render different Swaras as per Chandrakauns and SR respectively.
Finally, she comes back to Suddha Saveri and he too returns to BS.
Wonderfully conceptualised and composed.

Very good performance by the complete team, with both the singers just outstanding

[jamesaron]

The best vocal renditions are jugalbandi of north and south styles, so rich and complete!

[girishiyer]

Shivani amazingly picked after a mini falter, beautifully rendered...& Kudos to Adithya....keep it guys our culture & tradition is in good hands

[suryanarayanabegur]

A wonderful combination of HINDUSTANI & CARNATIC JUGALBHANDI makes the rendition par sheer exuberance of INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC is ample testimony to this beautiful bless all ARTISTS.

[Rama-Rama]

One of the best pieces of IndianRaaga here, nice singing and Adithya especially holds a lot of promise. IndianRaaga is a fantastic initiative all of us back home can be proud of!

[srinivasanjagadeesan]

Just happened to hear this wonderful performance.. Cannot believe they are kids. Aditya is looking like Abhishek's younger version.. Voice, talent and passion.. Ditto.
Shivani brings out Hindusthani type flavor in her portions and as a combo it was magical. Particularly when they migrated to madhukauns. And the swaram portion was all excellently planned.
I am going to hear this over and over, fresh voices, maturity of singing, what a blend.
Appreciate the accompaniments too. Big thanks to all. Love you all.
