Never-ending saukhyam listening to abhishek sing this krti, especially after puja. It's an sangeethaaradhna🎉

Thodi Ragaam is my mother's favorite ragam . My favorite ragam too.I have grown in a music family. When I was young my mother used to keep singing "katthana Vaari" I am never tired of this specific ragam . Aaha Arpudam Abhishek

I am reminded of Sri Madurai Mani Iyer, whose Thodi was one of the favourites for all the Rasikas in those days . Very Soothing . Moni
