What are the names of the ragas which are similar to Sankarabharanam ?

keerthi · Post by **keerthi** » 10 Feb 2009, 22:13

NatAbharanam, which is the venkatamakhin version of NAtakapriya; NAgAbharanam, ditto for nagAnandini; and I remember seeing a saradAbharanam somewhere.

BTW, did the original poster want to know about similar raga names or raga that sound similar to sankarabaranam?

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 11 Feb 2009, 11:18

I had the same thought!

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 11 Feb 2009, 11:29

BTW Natyabharanam and Kalabharanam in the list above are the same as Kambhoji and Garudadhwani

Vainika, Do you know any keerthanaas in umAbharaNam?

keerthi · Post by **keerthi** » 13 Feb 2009, 17:19

vijay,VK,

it didn't occurred to me that the question may be about similar ragas, not similar names!
Isn't the original posting amenable to both interpretations...? BRK will have to clarify.

Thank you all a lot. I am simply overwhelmed by the spontaneous response from the learned and knowledgeable Rasikas. My question was quite simple ! Are there any ragas, which show similarities to the Raga Sankarabharanam ? The Nathaswara Vidwan in the Siva temple, Thiruvanmiyur [where I reside] told me that one has to carefully handle Sankarabharanam, for it may subtly lead to Ananda Bhairavi. Is it so and if it is so, how ? Can anyone show the variation in the scales of these two ragas ? I would be thankful. -- B.R.Kumar, Chennai-41.

Sankarabaranam and Ananda Bhairavi? I do not see that.

I can see resemblances between Sankarabharanam and Kurinji or even Sankarabharanam and Kambhoji ( occasionally ).

i have often been left in an other world by TNS with his chiselled shankarabaranam!
His genius is just amazing and mindboggling.
