Kamavardhani is the 51st melakarta in the 72 melakarta system. It is a praceenaraga, earlier popularly known as Pantuvarali. To fit into the Melakarta system as per katapayadi formula it was renamed as Kamavardhani. It has many popular keertanas. To name a few -Appa! Rama bhakti, Siva Siva yanarada, Sambho Mahadeva, Raghuvara nannu marava taguna,Naradamuni vedalina etc made by Tyagaraja. In Dixitar's sampradayam, thia raga is called Kasiramakriya. His compositions in this raga include - Ucchista Ganapati, Senapate, Margasahayeswaram etc. Swati Tirunal's Sarasaaksha paripalayamam is another popular composition. One interesting aspect is if nishadam is made graham we get the first melakarta - Kanakangi. In Hindustani music this is called Poorvi thaat. The raga is popular in both light & film music. Here is my varnam in Kamavardhani.
