Dear Sir,

I hear this song in rAgam AbOgi! I took the starting note is sa. nAnandri ... sa,,ri,, ga,

You have taken it as lower pa,,da,,ni which gives the rAgam Valachi / Valaji.

I recall one more song which confused with 'sruthi bEdham' (shifting of the sruthi) concept.

Finding the rAgam of the song in the film Karnan sung by Sri. Seergazhi Govindarajan was a question in a quiz program.

My younger sister and I found it as 'SarasAngi' where as the answer was given as 'ChakkaravAgam'!!

We took the starting note as 'pa' guessing a high pitch for Sri. SG. But the quiz master took it as thArasthAyi 'sa'!

Bilahari.

This is one of the rAgams a beginner learns in Carnatic music. When they finish learning a few 'Geetham's, the next would be

the swarajathi 'RA RA VENugOpAlA', in this rAgam.

[Raji Ram]

There is a rule in Carnatic music that the ascending and descending notes of a rAgam should have a minimum of five notes.

If either one has only four notes, then, the other should have minimum of six notes. Example: Navarasakannada which has the

ArOhaNam as S G2 M1 P S. and avarOhaNam as S. N1 D2 M1 G2 R2 S. But the music maestro Sri. Balamurali Krishna has created

rAgams like Mahathi, Lavangi, Sidhdhi, Sumukham with four notes and rAgams like Sarva Sri, OmkAri, Ganapathy which have

only three notes! RAgam Mahathi is found in the first part of this film song. It has only four notes S G1 P N1...

SarasAngi.

This is the 27th rAgam in the 72 mELa rAga chakram. N2 instead of N1 in the rAgam ChArukEsi, the 26th rAgam!

I wrote about this rAgam earlier, while mentioning about the concept of Sruthi bEdham.
