Raga ' NARTHAKI '

[hariharan]

This rare raga is janya of the 28th Mela raga Harikambhoji. The Arohana & Avarohanam notes are: SRGPDNS- SNDPGRS. The note 'Ma" is varjyam in both aroh & Avaroh.
I wish to know if there is any carnatik Kriti composed in this raga?

There are few Malayalam Film songs composed in this raga, the most popular one is the song "Ponnil Kulicha raathri" sung by Jesudas in the Film 'SINDOORA CHEPPU'.
The audio link is

Also there are few devotional songs sung in this raga. Eg. the song " Gurupavanapure vazhum krishna " in the Album named 'Hari sree Prasadam' the audio link of the song is

I wish to see some posts from our viewers on this rare raga Narthaki.
