Reetigowla Raga - Anaata Rakshaka Varnam - Eka Tala | Dr L Subramaniam

I'm happy to release one of my compositions 'Anaata Rakshaka' (Varnam) in a very traditional raga Reethigowla.
This was specially recorded at Aspirations Grounds of Sri Chinmoy, New York, very recently.
Hope you enjoy it.

About the Raga :
Reethigowla, Reethi Gowla or Reethigowlai is a janya raga in carnatic music. It is associated with 22nd melakarta raga Kharaharapriya.

It is Vakra Shadava-Sampoorna (Zig-zag raga with 6 notes in Arohana & 7 in Avarohana). It is a Rakthi Ragam with very unique and melodious Sancharams and Prayogams. This Raga invokes Bhakti mixed with immense joy through a Vadi-Samvadi relationship between many of its swaras such as Sa-Ma, Ri-Dha and Ga-Ni. It is also classified as a "rakti" raga (a raga of high melodic content).
