I can't find the meter, and it is killing me!

Enriching Exchanges

oh lord.....why are people referring to completely unconnected rAgas?! The singer, Shri Balasubramaniam has sung this with as true a rItigowla as one can get in the spectrum of renditions. The sincerity of the rendition and bhava of the song comes through quite nicely. The accompanying artistes truly embellish the offering. The only thought I had a doubt was in the part of the sAhitya around the phrase "nikhila charAchara bIjangurane"...wonder if someone can clarify and suggest the meaning.

Prasa (Prasanthan)

@sasa110 ..They're both composed in the ragam Reethigowla, and it is one of those very characteristic ragams, as in the phrases and structures become very recognizable after a while.

@sasa110 azhagana rakshasiye is in Reethigowla raga....

Prasa (Prasanthan)

@sasa110 They are both in the raaga of "reethigowla"

Siva Sankaranarayanan

@ashwinrohin - beautiful rendition... but disappointed that the video does not include the whole song. iLayaraja has used this ragam on several occassions as well. Well known movie song (of yesteryears) in rItigauLa is "cinna kaNan azhaikirAn rAdhaiyai..." sung by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna and the song "talaiyai kuniyum tAmaraiyE" sung by S. P. Balasubramanian.

Very nice performance, great voice, but there were some deviations in the gamakas and slight changes in shruti.

very nice...who is this?

Ashwin Iyer and Rohin Iyer

The ragam is ritigauLA. It is not anywhere near Arabhi. Samaja vara gamana is hindolam. Aro: S G2 R2 G2 M1 N2 D2 M1 N2 N2 S Ava: S N2 D2 M1 G2 M1 P M1 G2 R2 S Other famous compositions in the ragam: dvaitamu sukhama, nannu vidachi, baale baalendu, janani ninnu vina, etc.. For the film music fans out there, look up "Azhagaana Rakshasiye" by A.R. Rahman, it is also based on Ritigaula.
