This is a beautiful raga popular in Hindusthani music particularly in shehnai vaadan.From what I can make out, Maru has an aroh/avaroh something like:-
S Mi Gu Mi P Nu S
S Nu Di P Mi Gu Mu Gu Ri S
Belonging to Kalyan That/Mela Mechakalyani this raga has a slight use of Ma also which leads to the allied counterpart Maru Behag.
The only kirtana I heard was one set in the Bhajana sampradAya - sung by Sri. O.S Arun (as part of the Margazhi mahotsavam) which went as : " Govinda.....MAdhava....GopAla....KEs'ava
Jaya Nanda Mukunda Nanda Govinda RAdhE GopAla
It was a refreshing piece & that too in a raga less explored in carnatic music.
Any more info on this raga?

Hi Mrinalini - could you please provide the usual notation used in this forum - S R1/R2/R3 etc...would it translate to:
S M2 G3 M2 P N3 S'
S' N3 D2 P M2 G3 M1 R2 S
I believe this is a fairly popular feature in HM concerts - usually sung in the evening ...BTW, the arohanam/avarohanam sounds devilishly difficult to negotiate...
My songlist does not have any CM compositions in this raga. Saranga would come somewhat close...
