Pa Varja Janya of Dhenuka

My revered greetings to the members of this esteemed forum. I introduce myself as Vignesh Subramanian, a musical novice and an amateur blogger.

Recently I came across a song by the composer Ilaiyaraaja. Its semi-classically arranged song, sung by SPB.

It appears to me that, this song is composed on a janya ragam of Dhenuka with the following grammer:
Arohanam : Sa Ri1 Ga2 Ma1 Dha1 Ni3 Sa
Avarohanam: Sa Ni3 Dha1 Ma1 Ga2 Ri1 Sa

May I request, if any of you happen to know the name of this Raaga..? (The song can be heard together with my short analysis at: http://raagadevan.blogspot.com/ )

Thank you in advance.

With Love
Vicky
