Theme

Mahā-Kētu — completion of the planetary cycle, mokṣa-graha

A deeper bhāva note is being authored by our musicologist; this short theme stands in until then.

Tāla — Rūpaka Tāla

Dhruta + laghu(4) = 6 beats. Common for varnam + kīrtanas.

6 beats per āvarta · this notation spans 7 cycle(s)

Paramparā

Saṅgīta Sampradāya Pradarśinī (1904)

This page shows the kṛti's playable notation + opening sahitya. Bhāva, rāga svarūpa, learning-path, and full word-by-word sahitya are added incrementally as our musicologist reviews each kṛti.
