Query on utsava sampradAya & divynAma kirtanas

[Lakshman]

A rasika has sent me the following message. Hope someone can provide an answer. I guess the query deals with Tyagaraja's songs. Thanks,

How many kirthanas are there in category divya nama sankeerthanam? Why some ulsava samprathaya kirthanas like " jo jo jo rama- Ritigowla" is given under the heading of divya nama sankeerthana?

@1-> Query on utsava sampradAya & divynAma kirtanas

Lakshman_ji, The following information may kindly be sent to the person who queried.
--------------------------
A fairly good classification of Thyagaraja Swami kritis is given in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c ... _Tyagaraja
It may not be the full list, however.
List of compositions by Tyagaraja - Wikipedia

------------------------------ ----------------------------
725 kritis with ragam, talam information is given in
http://www.sangeethapriya.org/tributes/ ... ithis.html
It also mentions the group for many of the kritis.
Saint Thyagaraja - Krithis - Sangeethapriya
-------------
The kriti mentioned in the kriti ( reethigowLa) is shown in one group only. We have to analyze the 725 kritis in detail and prepare a suitable list.
---------------
In the first mentioned link, we can find quite a few famous kritis under 'other' category! Many of them are 'single-kriti-ragam' type.
The wiki link is NOT exhaustive but gives a rough idea.
------------------
In addition, we can refer to Sri.V.Govindan's
