signature tune of Jaya T.V. Margazhi Mahothsavam

[Ponbhairavi]

I am not sure, has the signature tune become a little stale? The only word thygaraja, thyagaraja seem to be hanging in the void.It is neither his jayanthi,nor his aradhana and the concert contents are not restricted to his compositions.Can they be replaced by Jaya Jaya,jaya jaya( cf beginning words of a Narayana thirthar's composition) or R M K V, R M K V. which beckons from every direction where the camera goes ?

[Ramasubramanian M.K]

I agree with Ponbhairavi--not only is it stale,in my humble opinion,it is a distortion of Karaharapriya(I know I am getting too serious for a brief opening line!!)raga--while swara varjyams(omitting some notes in the case of Melakarta Ragas ) is quite common,this went too far--Nee Dha Pa Ma Dha Nee Ri Sa--somehow sounds a little jarring to me!!
