Brindhavanasaranga raaga
This is one of the most beautiful raaga i have heard. There are thousands of tamil songs composed using this particular raaga. The most famous of these is the "pon onru kandaen pen angu illai". The description provided by Charulatha Mani in the Isai Payanam was excellent. I have become a great fan of this singer, even though she makes some songs look more carnatic, but still the program is about the carnatic music applied to film songs so i felt it relevant. The arohanam and avarohanam of this particular raaga is sa ri2 ma1 pa ni3 sa || sa ni2 pa ma1 ri2 ga2 sa This is called as shudhdha madhyamam raaga since it uses ma1. I am not sure if this is playable in flute since i am not sure about Ni3 which is kakali. Need to ask my guru regarding this. The link to various arohanam and avarohanam for all raagas is http://www.carnatic.com/carnatic/ragalist.htm The link to the video in youtube is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTCavDzt9b8&feature=related
