Ashtapathi - in youtube - Raga confirmation request

Post by HarishankarK »

Hi all,

There is an ashtapathi Yaa ramitha Vanamali rendered by Krishnakumar and Binni Krishankumar. It is the one in the youtube videos when you'll hit when you search with phrase " K KRISHNAKUMAR AND BINNI KRISHNAKUMAR YAA RAMITA"

Can anyone please identify the raaga for this one? Is it Patdeep? Is there any tamil song in Patdeep?
Thanks

Yes please...as I said elsewhere, ashTapati would probably refer to a polyandrous woman with 8 husbands...and not a verse with 8 lines...

:lol: i have corrected the title.
BMK version in sangeethapriya reads Gowri manohari but doesn't sound much like that.

Yes. Arohanam has the Ni of GM (23 mela) but descent is Abheri (janya of KHP 22 mela) scale.
