Yarendru Raghavanai | Yadukulakambhoji | Arunachala Kavi | Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar

On the fourth day of Navaratri, I share Arunachala Kavi’s ‘Yarendru Raghavanai Enninirama’ in Yadukulakambhoji, tuned and rendered with haunting beauty by Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar.

Yadukulakambhoji was Ariyakudi’s great forte, a raga he explored with unmatched delicacy and gravitas. In this kriti his genius as a tunesmith shines through and it is perhaps the most authentic version one can hear, where the meditative spirit of the raga and the poetry fuse into a timeless expression of devotion.
