PAATHI – A Kriti Half Told 🎶

Sharing little excerpts from kritis that are close to my heart.

Next in the series is the timeless kriti ‘Marugelara O Raghava’, a composition of Sri Tyagaraja Swami set in the raga Jayanthasree. In this kriti, Tyagaraja Swami addresses Lord Rama with a deeply personal question — “Marugelara?” (Why do you hide from me?) — even after realising that the divine exists everywhere in the universe. Some kritis are beautiful not just in their composition, but also in their lyrical depth.
