(kOva padaamE sollungO. I am a clean slate in this regard :P)

ragas like reethigowlai, anandabhairavi, shree, dwijavanthi etc have some distinct characterics....vakra prayogams (ie they dont travel a linear arohanam or avraohanam) ....so it is actually the other way round...some specific swara prastharam / flavour / typical phrases irundhaadhaan adhu shree raagam...illaena it is just madhyamavathi with some extra swaras

i know after reading this, you may again have to repeat "ennamo sollreenga"

Shree Ragam | S R2 M1 P N2 S | S N2 P D2 N2 P M1 R2 G2 R2 S
madhyamavathi Madhyamavathi | S R2 M1 P N2 S | S N2 P M1 R2 S

appuram innoru vishayam....unga kelviya paartha idhu 'clean slate' kelvi maadhiri theriyalaiyae?
kavala padaadheenga, naanum kelvi gnaanam dhaan...adha vachi oppaethikittu irukkaen.

shakthi - cant find the 'adhu andha kaalam' song....dont worry about any ignorance here....even the so called experts think a song is set in one raga, only later to find it it is infact in another scale, when pointed out by someone else who looks at it from a different perspective. this is atleast true for ilaiyaraaja songs...

Kuyil Paatu - Female version can be under love/affection and the male version (IR's) can be under pathos.

You can also include the following under corresponding categories:
