Hayi haayiga aamani saage is the Telugu original of "kuhu kuhu bole
koyaliya"
and it can be heard at http://www.sdburman.com/
The Telugu version is quite popular among RMIMers. Infact Sanjeev & Armeen
have sung it in their concerts.
btw there are ragas attributed to the time of the day. Similarly
are there any ragas that correlate with seasons ?
Lyrics are taken from
