The whole concert was very enjoyable and satisfying.

[sridevi]

I was there from the beginning to the end. I am very glad I could go to the concert.
The devaranama was 'Manda mathiyu naanu Madana janakanu neenu' and I thought that this was set in raga janasammodini --( Maharajapuram santhanam sang ' Govinda ninna naamave chanda' in this raga ) ---- I am wrong a lot of times and might be this time around too..

Ravikiran - Thank you very much for an awesome concert. Can you tell us which raga you sang this devaranama in?

[vs_manjunath]

I too felt the devara naama was in Valachi !

[rshankar]

The first (and only time) I have heard 'manda matiyu nAnu, madana janakanu nInu' was from Maharajapuram Sri Santanam. I think he tuned and sang it in durgA.

[vs_manjunath]

RKS also sings in durgA only.

[Lakshman]

Sangeetha Katti has sung it in kAmbhOji. It is available at sangeethapriya.org.
Shankar Shanbhag has sung it in bhaTiyAr on musicindiaonline.com

Thanks vs_manjunath and sridevi for your kind words.
I am glad that you enjoyed the concert.

The Purandaradasa Keerthana "Mandamathiyu Naanu" that I performed was rendered in Valaji Ragam, Khanda Chapu Talam.
It was set to tune by my guru Sri TM Krishna.

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi Kiran.
