An auspicious RAgam, suitable to begin a concert. Since it creates a highly musical atmosphere, when sung at the commencement of a concert, it is usually a preferred Ragam at the beginning of a concert. It evokes VIra Rasa. This is a Tri StAyI RAgam, and RI is rendered as dirgha kampita svaram. This Ragam shines well in Madhyama KAla AlApana and TAnam. TAnam played in veena creates a very pleasing effect. The Raaga ChAyA svaras are RI Ma and GA (JIva svaras). Source: carnatic-music.com
