Nattakurinji


Nattakurinji  is the janya of Harikamboji, 28th  Melakartha Raga. This raga evokes Karuna and Bhakthi rasa and the best suitable time for singing is evening time. It's equivalent in  Hindusthani music is also called Nattakurinji. But the  main difference here is that, in Hindusthani music raga has vakra sanchara in arohana alone whereas in the carnatic music vakra sancharas occur in both.

    1. Hello friend

      Thank you for your interest in Music and my Blog.
      Kuyiline Thedi is a folk based tune and these type of tunes are a masterpiece of Sri K.Raghavan Master. In the case of some tunes, we cannot put them in the path of a particular raga. It will be a mix of many swaras, where a pattern cannot be defined. Any way,let me put the notes in the Keyboard and see. I will let U know about this later.
