All Ragas of Rahman

[Arvind Srinivasan]

BTW, would appreciate if you can explain a bit about graha bedam

Its a very popular technique where scale changes in a particular raga helps in arriving at another raga.....
.
for example take the raga- mohanam- say the scale C - the notes are S R2 G2 P D2 S; in western C D E G A Ctop
.
1) if we take R2 G2 P D2 S R2 from mohanam and use R2 as S, we get the ragam - madhyamavathi

2) same way if we take - G2 P D2 S R2 G2 and take G2 as S, we get the ragam- hindolam

In the same way with, P as lower S- we get sudha saveri and with D2 as S we get sudha dhanyasi

this is what is known as graha bedam......

graha bedam is also possible in various ragams, be it melakartha or janya ragams.....

take even charukesi- we get three ragams using graha bedam - vachaspathi, natakapriya and gowri manohari.....

hope this answers your question or have i confused you even more.....

Many thanks Arvind No confusion at all. It's quite clear. Another small request, can you tell me at which point the graha bedam happens in the Venessa Mae link RR had posted? ellaam oru aarva kOLaRuthaan
