Generally speaking , a song based on any raga(s)
has at least 5 notes . Here we can see a song of

Thanks Svaram ji. Great clips (loved the Italy concert one). In the video on youtube, SPB talks about the 5 svaras that he had used for composing a song upscale (avaroham). Am I right? Which composition is this?

Really "full of genius"

Thank's

DEVJI

Thanks Svaram..it would be interesting to listen to this..Ilaya raja is a pleasure to listen to.. always.

Many Thanks to you 3 DMs for the interest .

we are going off topic { this is Shreya forum }

Anyway ...

Maestro IR has been experimenting with many Ragas .

Kalyani appears to be a favorite for the composers .

Kalaivaniye song from film Sindhubhairavi (Tamil) was
composed using only aaroahanam of Kalyani Raga .
