RAGA SERIES 1 : POORNACHANDRIKA – JANYA OF MELA (29) RAGAM SANKARABHARANAM


The Ragaswaroopa can be seen as:

S R2 G2 M1 P D2 P S // S N2 P M1 G2  M1 R2 S

Poornachandrika is a janyam of  Sankarabharanam.  It is a vakra-shadava ragam, losing N2  in the arohanam and D2 in avarohanam. Due to the vakra prayogas, this raga has a very special flavor, very beautiful to listen at a medium to medium-fast pace. There are few compositions from two of the Trinities, Thyagaraja and Dikshithar, as also from many of the later composers; thillanas and varnams in this raga – still, this is treated as a Rare Raga, as only very few compositions have seen the concert arena.
