Radha & Jayalakshmi- Mathangi Sri Rajarajeswari.wmv

[iseeking]

Whatever happened to this most mellifluous duo? I see here only the old records, have they stopped singing?

[RamaPriyaG]

Good song rendered in the raga Rama Manohari (Janya raga of Ramapriya)

[Embikay]

@RamaPriyaG, Ramaamanohari is NOT janya, but just another name for, RAAMAPRIYA. There are slightly different systems of naming what are called Janaka-Raagas (or Melakartaa-raagas), the basic ragas from which numerous 'Janya' or derived, ragas can be obtained through creative omissions of svaras (notes) or slight changes of ordering of the svaras. Deekshita who followed the socalled system attributed to Venkata Makhin, called srg'm'pd'ns - snd'pm'g'rs as Ramaamanohari.
