Please confirm that parent raga is Suratti - else I run the risk of a wrong guess ;)

At the risk of being wrong a second time I hereby guess the child to be Mohana Kalyani

Downside of a wrong guess are that one does not know both the correct and the wrongly guessed ragas. :lol:

Confirmed !

This clip was so short that the entire clip was used for both parent and child track, unlike the others where the GB segment was plucked out and mixed in with a different background shruti.

Good job GNB_et al.. As instructed by Uday, I listened with a fresh mind and Surutti disappeared and another raga emerged. It sounded a bit like Mohanam but not quite.. But I could not pin it down to Mohana Kalyani. That is shameful, I love that raga. Let me listen to that again.

Edit: I listened again, I heard Kalyani and Mohanam in separate segments.

Yeah, it's a pretty crappy Mohana Kalyani although not "wrong" in any way !

Day 1 : The problem for me was that I heard Suratti only and then hurriedly went about wrongly guessing the child to be Hindolam because my mind wanted to hear what it wanted to hear - never focused on shruti

Day 2: I heard only Mohana Kalyani on both parent and child tracks when Uday suggested to hear with a "fresh" mind. :lol:
I could not hear Suratti at all. I thought Uday was playing a game on Soundcloud by swapping tracks in and out and cheating all of us ;)

Day 3: I patiently listened to the tracks and got it right (only after confirming that parent was Suratti)

Thanks Uday for this quiz.

Parent track:

Child track:

This time the child raga is certainly not a serious one.

VK : You were not so serious about the "not a serious one" - Mohanam and Kalyani are "Serious" I thought ;)
