[somia nedungadi]

can any one tall me what is ettugadi swara

[naaree]

I have heard:

1. The swarams that are rendered as part of a varnam, popularly called the mukthayi swaram, actually used to be called chittai swaram.

2. Which then meant that the swarams that are alternated with the charanam (in a varnam) is called ettugadi swaram.
