DEnukA.

The 9th rAgam in the MELa chakram. One note different from ThOdi (viz) N2. But much more easier to sing than ThOdi!

A film song based on this rAgam, composed by Sri. ILayarAjA:

ILAYARAJA INSTRUMENTAL Ayiram Thamarai - YouTube

Note: This song appears in the 'SubhapanthuvarALi' list. M2 is used only rarely. M1 is prominent and hence DEnukA.

GowLa.

This is one of the Gana rAgams. Gana rAgam is the one in which 'thAnam' can be played very effectively!

The five rAgams NAttai, GowLa, Arabi, VarALi and Sri are five of the Gana rAgams. Saint Thyagaraga composed his

'Pancha rathna kruthi's in those rAgams.
