I haven't heard any chitta swaram for this kriti. It must be a recent addition.

[Rasika911]

Infact some schools do sing a chittai swaram for this krithi.
I have heard sudha raghunathan sing a chittaiswaram but it is a commercial album.

The chittaswarams were probably composed by GNB's father, G nArAyaNasvAmi ayyar, who composed chittiswarams for many thyAgarAjasvAmi kRitis (eg.: nenarunchinAnu (mALavi), SObhillu saptaswara (jaganmOhini) niravadhi sukhadA (ravichandrikA), etc.). Smt MS used to sing this in the 50s itself. If I'm not wrong, Smt MS herself (humbly) told a forumite back in 1977 (or some other time) that she learnt it from GNB when they were in Calcutta.

Dear ksrimech,
The Vasantha Chittaswaram was composed by Kaaraikudi Sambasiva Iyer for "Ramachandram Bhavayami" of MD.
However the same Chittaswaram is also used in Seethamma Mayamma of T (both being Rupakam).
A recording of this is also available in Music India Online wherein Smt Ranganayaki Rajagopalan plays the Chittaswaram for "Ramachandram Bhavayami".
The chittaswaram for "Sobillu" in Jaganmohini has also been composed by Kaaraikudi Sambasiva Iyer
I understand that Sri Sambasiva Iyer has also composed wonderful chiitaswaras in Dhanyasi, Kedaragowla and Kalyani.
The speciality of his chittaswarams was that all had 16 avarthanams and all were in Rupakam.
