Raga of songs

[baroque]

Vel,
It carries the improvisations / gamakam of rag chandrakouns.
It always remind me of kandena govindana... purandhara dasar keerthanai. Bombay Jayashree sings very well this kutti keerthanai.

[vel]

thumburu/suresh

the notes are s r3 g3 m1 (p) d1 n3 s

if seen as chandrakouns, it is chandrakouns with an accidental g3

[Srini]

does chandrakauns have a R3 & G3? It thought it goes like S G2 M1 D1 N3 S/S N3 D1 M1 G2 S.

[baroque]

G3, Ni3... etc.. Don't know, Srini!
follow the keerthanai.. there is another keerthanai by Sudha Raghunathan... to learn the improvisations.

I initially suspected Vaagadheeswari but later realized its certainly not that.....I am so obsessed with this raga these days that I try to map each and every song to it

Like Vel said, the notes for 'Karayatha' are S R3 G3 M1 D1 N3 S.

Now, the 33rd Mela GangeyaBhushani, goes like S R3 G3 M1 P D1 N3 S/ S N3 D1 P M1 G3 R3 S.

So, 'Karayatha' should be Gangeyabhushani without 'Pa'. I am sure this is a Janya raga of G.Bhushani but could nt find the name of it.

Any comments?

So "karaiyadha" seems to be set in some rare scale. I I have not heard any song in "Gangeyabhushani" . Could you point me to any popular Krithi or any film song in this raga so that I can understand its feel better?

[Srini]

Thumburu: Listen to TNS singing a Kriti in Gangeyabhushani here:

Please note that, like I said before, gangeyabhusani sans pa could be a different Janya raga. Karayadha may be based on that raga and not Gangeyabhushani. The way Panchamam is ignored deliberately makes me think IR definitely had a raga in mind when tuning this song.

Actually I've been listening to this song (its in malayalam and the copy is a little poor) a lot recently. I am unable to make out completely if the pallavi is in jOg or not, maybe I should post this there too. Raveendran Master :musicsmile:
