By 'classified under', I meant a raga derived from the 30th melakarta Nagaanandini.All melakarta ragams have a complete structure-that is all the seven notes are present.<br /><br />However, 'Varudu Varudu' does not have the 'ni' in the avarohanam. Such a structure(sa ri2 ga3 ma1 pa dha3 ni3 Sa/Sa dha3 pa ma1 ga3 ri2 sa) is not defined inRajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119911558538564131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485373199416659524.post-32049783919217665662012-11-22T03:07:13.786+05:302012-11-22T03:07:13.786+05:30Great post Raj on Varudhu Varudhu and thanks for s...Great post Raj on Varudhu Varudhu and thanks for sharing the raagam perspective.<br /><br />I have a question on this quoted part:<br />"Going by the notes used, one can classify this under the 30th melakarta ‘Nagaanandini’. But as I said, a thorough search of raga texts indicates that no raga follows this structure-that is dropping the ‘ni3’ in the descent."<br /><br />I think each Vijayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12091044190267414892noreply@blogger.com
