Raga of 'Azhagenra solluku'

naarayanan · Post by **naarayanan** » 16 Nov 2009, 20:47

Dear forumites,

This devotional song by tms is in the following scale

sgmpdns/sndpmgs, using the notes of natabhairavi (todi also shares the same notes since ri is absent)

can anyone help in identifying the raga.

there is one dhivyamavathi in todi.

karnatik.com has mentioned it as bhimplasi. but definitely there is no 'ri' in this song.

ragapravaham states that 'jayanthasri' and 'marga hindolam' also have this a/a. but since they have established themselves with a definite ragaswarupam, i dont think we can fit this song in those ragas.

i have tentatively labelled it as 'jayanthasri'. kindly hear the song and give your comments.

i am a little confused. a little help would be appreciated.

i played it like

sss........g..g..m..p...gmm......
azhagenra sollukku muruga

have i taken the shruti wrongly.

I agree with you on the absence of ri as well as Natabhairavi origin. This appears totally notes based with no or minimal gamakas. Hence difficult to fit into any of the established CM ragas. Let us keep trying if not invent a name!

All the following rAgAs have the same scale (SGMPDNS/SNDPMGS).

mELA 20: gOpikAvasanta, jayantashrI, mArgahindOLa
mELA 8: divyamAvati, jnAnamaNi, bhArgavi

I guess this can be slotted to Gopikavasantam though not so exactly!
Thanks Lakshman

thanks cmlover, lakshman sir and vkraman sir for the replies.

cmlover, as you said there is no gamaka at all and it is better not to allot established carnatic ragas to this song. i shall go with one of the obscure ones.
