^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Invariably features Kanada as a preferred Ragam.Karnatak raga Kannada has no resemblence to kAnaDA whatsoever.

Kannada is a janya of 29the mela Sankarabharanam.======================================================In Hindustahni Paddhathi, "kAnaDa" refers to a family

of rAgAs of which darbari Kanada is getting exceedingly

popular in Karnatik music.

Darbari kAnandA is called the King of Ragas - raga of the

Kings. It uses the komal (= shuddha) dhaivatam. This rAgA

has been imported to carnatic and is popular. Huseni kAnadA

or sahAnA of the north resembles the carnatic rAgA kAnadA.

Darbari Kanada, Nayaki Kanada, Abhogi Kanada, Sahana Kanada,

Huseni Kanada, and so forth.

nAyaki kAnadA of the north is a kAnadA devoid of Dha. Koushi

kAnadA is a kAnadA with elements of malkauns (hindOlam),

bhimpalasi (abhEri) and bAgeshrI.-------------------------------------------------

Warren Senders adds:Darbari Kanada (Hindustani Bandishes):

Drut:

Kinu Bairain Kaan Bhare

Ghar Jaane De Chhand Mori Bhai

Jayant Kanada (mix of darbari, shahana & jaijaivanti)

Raisa Kanada (not sure)

Chandramukhi Kanada (mix of darbari & rishabh Chandrakauns)

Basanti Kanada (mix w/Basant)

Kanada Malhar (0bvious)There is some controversy about Abhogi -- some say that Abhogi Kanada is

Abhogi but restricted to the sangathi GMRS, while shuddha Abhogi can use

MGRS as in Bageshri. This is one opinion and not necessarily a consensus.==========================================================================Lyrics for some carnatic compositions in kAnadA: (piked up from rmic)

We do the sumangali prarthanai with 100% sincerity..diligence . When we concentrate deeoly we get signs of how the even would be for which we are doing this or how the future would be or what got left out.

Also, we have this habit of keeping saree in kosuvam style. Will post the pic i hv( have to search)

Nice write up. It was like attending my house function while reading it. We had the function this past summer as it was after my FIL's sadhabhishegam. I am the elder DIL and I had to do all the nalangu and place the food on elai. We too do the kosuvam for the 9 yards and place a vethalai as the face and decorate with earrings and necklace with bangles. We gave this saree to my eldest SIL. Since we had a cook, we could fully enjoy the process with the rest of the family. Thanks for reminding all this happiness once again.

Excellent Post. This is a must-bookmark post. I'm sure its not easy to elaborate the procedure. You have done a great job. I'd definitely say you're an expert Homemaker ?

May god bless you and your family with all the happiness ?

Keep up the great work.

So nice to read and refresh our memories. Especially when the earlier generation who always guided us are not available. We need to look for service minded people like you to help us keep up our tradition. Thanks and god bless you.

Whether for want of any other suitable day, can Sumangali prarthana be conducted in the Marriage Hall of the bride, when Vratham for the groom and Jathakarma for the bride is fixed ,being next early morning-muhoortham is to be performed ?

Hi J, your post is really informative. my issue is lil different. my MIL never performed it saying that her Orpadi (elder SIL) is doing so in a fly its done in 1 hse only. but as far im told it has to be done in ur hse if u r not living together. in my sons poonal also we didnt do bcoz of her, now recently when i mentioned abt it she said you can do that, though she didnt do for my hubby nd my elder BIL marriage also. my BIL nd FIL is no more. my mom died as Sumangali. J i want to perform this 1st fr my sons poonal nd next when my daughter marriage will come. can you pls ask elders nd tell me as i can start this ritual. i know the procedures though living in Jharkhand. ill be very grateful for this help.

Hi revathi

As your mil said when the elder orpodi is doing at their house, no need for you to do it separately. But since now she can't do as your bil is not there, you can do it on your own taking guidance from them. Will enquire about this further with my mil and mom and let you know soon
