Hello All!!!
Syama sastri has composed a luvly kirtanai in this ragam "Parvati ninnu nera"....but there is a confusion in this...while most popular schools treat Kalkada as a vivadhi raga...Hyderabad brothers treat is as Chakravakam's Janyam. They sing it similair to malayamarutham with arohana avarohanam being Sa Ri Ga Pa Dha Sa, Sa Ni Dha Pa Ga Ri Sa. I referred in a couple of books and both classify it as vivadhi.But for some reason, I am more convinced by the Hyd. Bros version, because their way of singing has such a luvly flow and more syama sastri like, than the Vivadhi version and its kalaprana. Can anyone please clarify.
Thanks

i have heard nityashree's version which does have vivadi swara. I am not sure if that implies dhanammal tradition for syama sastry (Nityashri => DKP => Dhanammal's daughter => Dhannammal => Subbaraya Sastri => Syama Sastri). If so, then you have 2 pathanthras with direct connection to Syama Sastry that use the vivadi swara. That is pretty strong evidence.
It would help if we can trace the pathanthra of the non-vivadi version.

I have heard Hyd bros sing it twice...one in a commercial release and one in a 1992 krishna gana sabha concert i think...I have heard a couple'a others sing it..all sang in vivadhi and something was missing in it...Infact I once heard Guitar Prasanna play it in the vivadhi version..and when I asked him which one is right..he said he thinks vivadhi is right and he also said he played it just bcos its vivadhi....

One more artist singing kalgaDa as a janya of mELa 16
http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2 ... 220600.htm
This artist's guru is Mudikondan Venkatarama Iyer - So is the non-vivAdi pAthantara coming from this school ?
Has Smt Vedavalli sung this kriti?

Ramakriya - Thanks for the links..
Arunk- Even I don't know if the non vivadhi patantara traces back to SS...but I feel thats the right one for some reasons. Firstly the kalapramana - if you sing the vivadhi version u need to sing it in a really slow tempo in order to express the "vivadhiness"...lol..
But the non vivadhi version, comes in a lively tempo, has more life in the keerthanai in my humble opinion.
