The quintessential feature of classical music is the underlying “ bhakthi ” bhava that propells the raga bhava and intertwines with the sahitya . When a raga magically evokes the bhakthi rasa, some feel elation, some cry, some feel their hair standing on end, while other less-fortunate ones feel nothing. Musical emotions are like an FM station, we have to tune into that “ bhakthi ” frequency to receive those transmissions. The raga that has that special power to evoke divinity is Shanmukhapriya. A raga that Lord “Shanmukha” loves, or rather, a raga that loves Lord Shanmukha perhaps? Dikshitar, as usual, had his name for this raga – “Chamaram.” It is a scale that is complete in itself, the notes that are present being Shadja, Chatusruti Rishabha, Sadharana Gandara, Prati Madhyama, Pancama, Shuddha Dhaivata, and Kaisiki Nishada. The Prati Madhyama is its defining note, and the harmonies that are possible in this scale are mind-blowing. #shanmukhapriya #charulathamani #carnaticmusic #charulathamaniofficial #indianclassicalmusic #performance #classicalmusicindia #classicalmusiclovers #ragamusic #raga #fyp #fypyoutube #fypage #southindianclassicalmusic #shanmukhapriyaragam #indianmusictradition #bvb2025 #carnaticconcert #live #carnatic #classicalconcert #classicalvocal #soulfulmusic #video
