- In this episode , we deal with one of the most important part in a concert : Raagam Tanam Pallavi ( RTP )
The Musicians can use their Manodharmam to the maximum extent in RTP. The artist is free to choose everything here like the ragam, lyric, language,tempo, talam, nadai etc... . Artists can display their Vidwath and virtuosity to the fullest here.
We have explained the structure of the pallavi , the various types of pallavis etc ...
We thank Shri Vidwan Mudikondan Ramesh, for his valuable insights on Thanam, and sharing his thoughts with us on ACJ.
We also thank Vidushi Smt Charumathi Raghuraman for the lovely Sarasangi for the opening theme.
Very well explained! Thank you so much for this 💜
Mam can teach me mam im from malaysia please send mam whatsap number
Excellent demonstration by Shri Ramesh. It was rapturous and reflected in your instantaneous acknowledgment. An RTP in Kalyana Vasantam one of these days would be joyful to listen to. I am posting some interesting notes made by the learned musician 🙏

Origin of the word Tanam
The lexicon of Sanskrit describes it as Tanyate vistaraayate iti taanaha - tana is that which is elaborated.
The tanam mentioned in early treatises has a different connotation from the tanam we sing today.
Singing of swara-s in various patterns and combinations could have become tanam, replacing the swara-s with the word ‘anantam’.
Reciting ‘anantam’ again and again could have led to the syllables ‘a nam tam’ which are repeated, and this could have led to the origin of the term ‘tanam’ in music.
There is a definite rule for tanam singing and this has to be adhered to for the tanam to be effective. The words ‘tanam’ and ‘anantam’ alone should be used and the syllables ‘a nam tam’. The phrases ‘tum’, ‘num’ ‘tom’ and ‘nom’ should not be used. It is important to pronounce the syllables correctly, ‘aganam’ and ‘taganam’ or ‘tu tu’ should not be used while singing tanam.
Just like a yati pattern in poetic expression, the tanam in music refers to expansion and contraction of phrases usually woven around a particular swara. The building up of patterns is an interesting exercise.
Tanam is of particular importance in veena playing. In a veena concert, the tanam is often rendered before playing the kriti and not just in the ragam-tanam-pallavi. Tanam is usually sung in the medium tempo and is referred to as ‘madhyama kalam’ in the Karaikudi school. In a vocal concert, the tanam is usually rendered after a raga alapana and before the pallavi. Rendering a tanam after an elaborate raga alapana can revive the brisk pace of the concert. In a veena concert, the niraval is not very important as the words cannot be differentiated, and there is not much distinction between swara singing and niraval. It is possible that the structure of the tanam was introduced to balance this. Tanam in madhyama kala is played on the veena by strumming the main string and the tala strings based on the stress syllables. This has a very pleasing effect. The same effect is reproduced by the voice with repetition of the syllables ‘a nam tam’ and with stress on particular syllables.
I remember when I was a young boy ( year 1975 -76) my mother and me were going to Coimbatore from Bangalore by Island Express. Incidentally, R.K.Suryanarayana also boarded the our coach and kept his Veena ( without a box) on the upper berth and took his seat in lower berth. Another co-passenger went to keep some extra bag of his in the space next to Veena when RKS with lots of concern, told that man not to keep anything as the instrument is like a God. I later asked my mother after reaching Coimbatore the context and explain to me.
Will certainly inform Ramesh anna
Today's episode was very interesting, informative and enjoyable. No doubt RTP is the best part of concert rasika also looks for. Rgds
thank you , if watched a few times it may throw light to a few aspects .
A small suggestion Madam. During the course of narration kindly also state the ragams of the demonstrations. It would be useful for enthusiasts to get familiar with the ragams.
we will try to add it all to the glossary in the coming weeks ji
Thank you for your prompt response. Your sessions are very educative. Your voice is amazing. God bless.

Hi mam
In pallavi anuloma will have three speeds
1st kala : 1 swara for kriya
2nd kala: 2 swaras
3rd kala : 4 swaras
In kritis generally we will start from 2nd kala
Is 1st kala exists in pallavi
Can we sing pallavi in 1st kala mam ???
Rama srirama jayarama application to tanams and the mayamalavagowla pallavi eg with so many sahityams are simple yet so beautiful👌
The genius of TRS sir , it is his idea that I borrowed
Excellent insights on thanam by Shri Ramesh.
Such beautiful episode. Very educative. Thank you madam
Namaskarams Akka and Sri Ramesh Sir

Did you made a video of neraval mam
If yes kindly send the link 🙏🙏
Explaining wonderfully .Got a lot of theoretical knowledge
Glad you found it useful ! 😊
Mam we are really grateful to you for such a great help ❤. Thank you very much
Thank you !
V good
Hi mam
Want difference between neraval and pallavi
Neraval is taking one line from a composition and singing it in different ways in the ragq using your imagination.. of course within the structure of the original line
Pallavi I am assuming u mean the Ragam Tanam Pallavi ... is a line that is structured in tala and metered in such a way that it can be elaborated with neraval and swaras
Often a pallavi can be set by musicians themselves.
Spoken in detail in RTP segment
Tq mam
Another one
Is tala used for neraval
@@jwalacreations6390 yes v much . We have to stick to the thala and the placement of words as the original composition
Super madam garu
🙏
Very useful
So glad :)
