@shrijith1 "The majority of Ragas in Carnatic music have survived the test of time. However, it cannot be ignored that while some Ragas have been short-lived, some others have faded into oblivion. Some have been resurrected by the composers of later periods of musical history. Many Ragas, having passed through different and indifferent renditions over the centuries, have acquired modified forms or even got completely mutilated. >>

@shrijith1 (3) Shrjith's pt. is well taken but only on its face value. The deeper truth is Reetigaula was probably being sung with lower (flat) Dha which later was changed by some schools into Dha higher. Why so? Experimentation showed this could give a slightly different taste, as bet. two slightly different recipes of Rasam, both being Rasam and not one Rasam and the other Sambar !!

@shrijith1 (4) Variety is nature's recipe for spice in life. Naari as adjective ws added to the RG with flat Dha just for highlighting .

[lsjtifo]

@shrijith1 (2) Some have undergone minor changes and others have produced controversies. /In recent times, several musicians and musicologists have attempted to evolve a consensus over such problematic issues through periodically conducted music conferences across the globe. But it may humbly be stressed that only a Daniel should deliver judgement." (Quoted from book RAGAS AT A GLANCE by Prof SR Janakiraman, Musicologist).

@shrijith1 (2a) [Remark: It is difficult for "experts" (non-experts and connoisseurs of nuances and subtleties of music, to accept, even if recognizing, one among hemsleves as Daniel!! ]

The title should really read Narireetigowla or Natabhairavi. Reetigowla is a different raga altogether, IMO.

[vpadmana]

In the original Venkatamakhin melakarta scheme that Shri Dikshitar followed, it was known as Reethigowlai and it is the 20th mela. It is sung with a D1. In the revised Govindacharya mela scheme, the 20th mela is Natabhairavi.

The Reetigowlai of today has a D2.

So the title is correct in some ways.
