In one of the Lec-Dems SKA.S.Rajam has told that Only MD has composed in Mangala Kaisiki(15) -Sree Bhargavi.

Wow - a great list. I had heard just Shri Bhargavi sung by T.M.Krishna in a couple of his concerts, and did not think there were any other songs in this raagam. Does anyone know of any artistes singing any of these other songs, are any online links available? Thanks.

[vpadmana]

What Lakshmar sir has posted is correct but I have personally not heard any other song besides Shri Bhargavi in Mangalakaishiki. Would appreciate any recordings. I am curious to listen to other composers' treatment of the raga while still adhering to its strict prayogams.

[vasanthakokilam]

There are two others that are labeled as mangala kaisiki.

1. http://www.sangeethamshare.org/sunil/th ... o/krithis/ and look for jaya-jaya It is a BMK song

2. http://www.swathithirunal.in/htmlfile/328.htm Sibikayil - swathi thirunal, Mangala kausika, Roopaka, Utsavaprabhandam, Malayaalam
