Rudraveenai raga?

Post by Tattvamasi »

Hello fellow rasikas, I just finished watching Rudraveenai and there's this beautiful raga that's bothering me? Can anyone please tell me the name of the raga at 6.55 from the link below? Also some episodes seem to be missing and incomplete , can anyone guide me as to where I can buy the whole series?
I would also like if you could share your views on this serial!

Have a great day!

Sir, I am sitting in the Calcutta airport restaurant. I heard the piece, very well picturised! Thank you.
I feel it is Suddha Saveri. Please listen to this and compare:

looks like devagandharaari (with some aberrations).

I'm a little late, but I just saw this. To me it sounds like Arabhi. The avarohana is fully revealed at the end, though there are very very fleeting Ga early on while transitioning from Ma to ri. The avarohanam of arabhi is fully revealed towards the end. The tempo is slow, but it lacks the deergha characteristics of Devagandhari.

It sounds like Arabhi to me as well. Like Sachi, I also first thought they were going too close to Suddha Saveri in the first minute or so. I guess that is due to the common Arohana between SS and Arabhi but typically we do not hear SS in any Arabhi song.

Reminds me of Na Moralanu Vini, the Arabhi kriti. Heres a masterclass rendition by BMK : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqEbOXIjawE&t=1367s
