30 Days 30 Ragams

The problem with me is I cannot think straight.  I was listening to Thiruppavai songs for the past few days and it struck to me why can't I come up with 30 film songs based on Thiruppavai ragas, in order to get a better view of ragas.  And here is the list.

  1. Not a bad excersice compare to...
    anyway, here is some of my fav. songs

    Natai - Iyangaru veetu alzaghe or Ennavle adi ennavale (though ennavale has lots of kedaram influence).
    Golwa -- none I can think of now, but I don't think vedam nee iniya nadha just justice to this beautiful ragam.
    Arabhi - Though Illayraja has a number of pieces, nothing that brings out the majesty of this raga come to mind... My fav would be the old "brindhavanamum nandhakumaranum" form missiamma. There is a beautiful Malayalam song in arabhi that I can't recollect now.
    Varali - Lets skip it for now..
    Sri - Ok I give up.. I can't think of any film song matching the beauty of a simple sri like "Vandhe vasudhevam"

    Endharo Mahanubhavulu
    Andhariki vandhanamulu.

  5. I always think "Theendai mei theendai " - don't know its a pure Sri ragam or it has mani rangu's influence.

    Arabhi - yerikaraiyin mele , poravale pen mayile - 100% arabhi

  7. Namaskarams - just happen to browse through this forum. I like carnatic music and listen to instrumental music mostly. Film songs based on raga is interesting. I found the below Malayalam songs based on raga Arabi and Sree. Not sure if my observation is right. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Arabhi
    song : Neela karmugil varnanam neram
    movie : deshadanam
