@Malavika All three are ragamalikas, though Sudhamantram is an unusual one compared to the other two. But again, all three are not the usual kind of ragamalika where you just change the raga by changing the scale. These change the raga by staying on the same scale but changing the tonic. So the notes are all the same but the raga is different

@Malavika Good afternoon!

@Malavika Yes, I remember @Pantuvarali mentioned that his computer is away for repairs so he'll be away for a week : (

@Malavika Well, I only really know you and @Pantuvarali here. I've seen @RakeshJoshi around, but haven't conversed directly with him

@Malavika Haha, I see

Must be because it's Ramayana Masam

So I hope you treated him nicely
