* looks like the Ragam is suited for Tirupugagzh. Thanks Lakshman!

[cmlover]

Manolayam is a janya of MMG (15th melam)
SRMPDS'/S'NDPMRS
Lakshman can correct me!
Since it is free of gamakam it is very easy to sing!

[arunasank]

I was taught two beautiful verses in the Abirami padhikkam set to Manolayam, with gamakams - so it is not entirely true that it is free of gamakam. : )
