The ragam Chakravagam evokes feelings of Pathos like no other. When used in its pristine format, it can simply make you melt and burn from the inside with emotions getting the better of you. The poignancy captures the pain in its truest sense.
I've picked up 2 Maestro Compositions in this Raga that have incited strange kinds of feelings that are hard to describe in words viz one from Kollywood and the other from Tollywood hinterland.
Nee Paathi Naan Paathi from Keladi Kanmani pricks your heart in such a way soaked with pathos oozing in from all corners. 'Eenadu Vidiponi' is a divine composition from the Telugu movie 'Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi Dance Recording Troupe'. I recall being simply mesmerized when I happened to listen to it for the very first time many years back. It's pretty sad that this song probably never got the recognition that it truly deserves and remains an under the cover gem.
These two numbers exemplify the masterclass exposition in handling this raga by Maestro bringing out the flavours, taste and juice in all its esteemed essence. It's a wholesome package and the subtle nuances give it the requisite finer touches elevating the compositions to another level. This Raga incidentally is categorised as part of the Agni Chakra and how apt as it simply burns you with raw emotions fulminating in glowing fashion.
