Dr. Lakshmi, Thank you very much for the videos, Its very useful for the beginners like me. I liked the way you showed examples of ragas "Shivaranjani" and "Mohanam" . I will surely cover other videos too!
I am a novice. I have been attracted to Carnatic music and listen to a lot of carnatic music on youtube. Still I know nothing theoretical or even through inference from the large number of songs I have heard. Is a raga based just on a bag of acceptable swaras arranged in any order, or does it mandate use of the swaras in a specified order? I appreciate there is an arohana and avarohana. These are a different set of swaras, with some small changes. When a pitch is ascending should it glide through all the swaras in between. Can it dwell on a swara in between? Does it or can it skip any swara? Can it reverse half way through? I had been under the impression when it is ascending, it must follow arohana, and when it descends it must follow avarohana.
Sir, just sharing what I know. the approach to a particular swara/s would be a certain way if the raga specifies so, also the order of swaras would be very very specific to the raga.. there are a cluster of notes that make it easy to recognise a raga, just like we recognise people - facial features etc. so also, each raga has very specific features. therefore two ragas with the same set of notes can be very different because the cluster, approach style (glide , or is there any other notes' slight touch ) and how much to pause on which note is different. Hope you found this useful
