Bairavi ! "Yaar Arivar Unnai"

(Bhairavi Raga: Lord Krishna Enthroned and Adored, 
Deccan or Rajasthan, India, circa 1650. - courtesy All Art News)
அந்நாளில் மிளிர்ந்த கர்நாடக இசை பாடகர்கள் பதித்த அஸ்திவாரத்தில் இந்நாள் கலைஞர்கள் தங்களது இசையின் பாண்டித்யத்தைக் காண்பிக்கிறார்கள். 
இதோ பைரவிக்குப்  பதித்த ஒரு அருமையாக  தூண்.
“யார் அறிவார் உன்னை” 
ராமபிரானையா அல்லது பைரவி ராக அழகையா?
இரண்டுமே
Kothamangalam Subbu (born Kothamangalam Subramanian, 10 November 1910 - 15 February 1974) was a poet, lyricist, author, actor and film director from Tamil Nadu, India. He wrote the cult classic Tamil novel Thillana Mohanambal and was awarded the Padma Shri. Subbu directed the epic film Avvaiyar in which the great artiste of those days Smt K. B. Sundarambal played the lead role. Ashokamitran had profiled humorously how this film took shape in the Gemini Studios. Subbu, with his wife Sundari Bai, played a minor role in the movie as the husband of an incorrigible lady who refuses to serve Avvaiyar food.As an exponent of the traditional folk form of narrating stories in Tamil Nadu, the Villu Pattu, Kothamangalam Subbu popularised the lives of many Indian luminaries using the Villu Paatu. Sri.Subbu's wife, Sundari Bai, was a popular actor, known for her versatility in playing character roles in movies such as Kannamma En Kadhali, Sumathy En Sundari, Chandralekha, Bama Rukmani and Avvaiyar. -- courtesy WIKI
