Raga identification of Song Alokaye Shri Balakrishnam

Post by nadhasudha »

Please help identify the raaga of this krithi rendered by Vani Jairam in a telugu movie. A search for this krithi composed by Narayana Teerthar shows that this is usually sung in Huseni. Not sure of the raagam this is set to in the movie. Youtube link below

Sounds like a filmy version of Jinjhuti.

To me as well. I listened to it a little bit, stopped it and hummed some extensions off of it, it came out as jinjhuti. I am quite thrilled Rsachi also thought of it to be that raga.
