Malarnthum Malaratha - Pasamalar | Carnatic written notations and Raga Bhaav and Song Analysis.

Malarnthum Malaratha -
Raaga Analysis and Carnatic Notations :

The breathtaking song Malarnthum Malaratha from the Sivaji Ganesan, Savitri, Gemini Ganesan starrer Pasamalar is based on the Raga Abheri.

This emotionally driven number indulged Abheri throughout and was well sung by T.M. Soundarrajan and P. Susheela. Composed by the Golden era composers Vishwanathan - Ramamoorthy,
penned by Kannadasan.


Raga Abheri :

Abheri has a serene and contemplative mood, sometimes with a submissive touch. The scale of Abheri has five swaras during ascent and all the swaras during descent – we call this audava-sampoorna ragam. It is a janyam of the 22nd melakartha, Kharaharapriya.

Aarohanam – S G2 M1 P N2 S
Avarohanam – S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S

Abheri is synonymous with “Nagumomu ganaleni” composed by Saint Thyagaraja, a lilting composition with a light hint of pathos. From time immemorial, raga Abheri has been used in many film songs. It is a music composer's favourite raga, as it can be experimented widely. Many famous musicians have included this raga in their compositions and have brought out well-known songs in the Tamil film industry. The attractiveness of this raga still continues to be a rage today and there are traces of Abheri even in new-age songs.


Viswanathan-Ramamurthy, in Pasamalar (1961), composed the immortal “Malarndum malaraadha.” The raga's stamp comes through in the lines “maaman thangai magalana... ulagai vilai pesuvar.”
