Coolkarniji, No need to fetch MMI's Bhuvaneswariya as you promised to try and do. Here it is, downloaded from Vishuji's magnanimous upload last year... :)

The master plays to the lilting accompaniments of LGJ, Alangudi and TKM...

To be honest even though I can kind of sense the swaras used are the same as Mohana Kalyani, it appears very different to my ears, with stress of different sangathis and prayogas.

Can someone please explain? Many thanks.
Just came across this old post, thanks to the latest posts. I understand that Shuddh Kalyan is the closest hindustani raga to Mohanakalyani. The arohan is like Bhupali or Mohana, SRGPDS. In the descent, you can often only detect the Ma and the Ni, but not pinpoint them (unlike Mohanakalyani) because these notes are glided over but not stopped at, or clearly sung as a distinct step between Sa and Dha, or between Pa and Ma. Even if these are distinctly heard, it is very fleeting. Do feel free to correct my understanding, if you see I’m wrong..
