Peter Wiesinger - Mandolin Satish Krishnamurthy - Mridangam Dedicated to Guruji Mandolin U. Shrinivas (1969-2014) „Kamakshi“ - composed by Shyama Shastri (1762-1827) Raga - Bhairavi, Tala - Mishra Chapu (7 beats cycle) A „Svarajati“ is a compositional form in Karnatik Music. One beautiful aspect of the Swarajathi in Raga Bhairavi is, that the Charanas (stanzas) are composed to begin successively in the ascending order of the Swaras (notes) of the Raga. The beginning Swara of each Charana is mentioned in the video.
