On the sivaratri day, this was a special treat for the rasikas of the twin cities, with kritis on Lord Siva were elaborately rendered. By the time I reached, no seats were available; I managed to squeeze in a corner seat somehow. The whole atmosphere was filled with devotion and eagerness to listen to the popular duo. The sisters in their inimitable style took us on a soulful sojourn from Mylapore via Tiruchirapalli, Tirupathi till Kailasagiri, with a highlight show of Siva’s thandavam. MAK garu’s violin returns and the percussionists’ omakara nadham added further feel. Even after the mangalam, the crowd did not start moving, as if expecting a sivaratri-akaandam.
Hara haraa! Haraharaa!! Haraharaa!!

What is the ragam of Naakku Jeppare?

I couldn't guess, also was engrossed in the beautiful lyrics
Googling , found its 'sankarabharanam'.
But I'm not sure..
Came across this audio upload,

Naakun Cheppare in Ragam Vagdeeswari.

Thanks SushantS,
I too later thought it was vagadeeswari, but wasn't sure.

Some stalwart has tuned beautifully in this ragam! Have to find out who it must be.
I was also very glad that, from the above audio link, I got to listen Srirangam Gopalaratnam garu's sweet rendition. Am also wondering if her Guruji Dr.Sripada Pinakapani Garu may have tuned this..?
