kauthuvam

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

Well, the Tanjore Quartette brothers have composed a unique set of five and nine kautuvams called the pancamUrti and navasandhi kautuvams. The former includes vinAyaka, murugan, sambandar, caNDikEShvarar, and of course, naTarAja; while the latter is actually on brahmA and the eight guardians of the quarters (ashTadikpAlakAs), followed by a few related compositions like gItam, sUlAdi, kaivAra prabandham, TAyam and jati. The lyrics and notations have been made available as a book entitled, "Adi bharata kalA manjarI" edited by the late KP ShivAnandam.
