Raga Ratna Malikachey. Reethigowlai ragam. Rupaka thalam. Saraswati veena.

“Rāga Ratna Mālikacē” is a Telugu kriti composed by Śrī Tyāgarāja in Rītigauḷa, set to Rūpaka tāḷa. Rītigauḷa is a janya rāga of the 22nd mēḷakarta Kharaharapriya. The kriti addresses Lord Rāma, describing a garland (mālika) made of the “jewels” of rāgas (rāga-ratna), and Tyāgarāja presents this musical garland as an offering to the Lord. The composition belongs to Tyāgarāja’s devotional repertoire and reflects the bhajana/Divyānāma tradition.🙏🪷🙏
