About Amritham
Amritham is a Carnatic vocal music album by Indian classical vocalist Bombay Jayashri. The artist released the album in 1997 under the INRECO label in CD format. The recording features ten tracks that showcase traditional compositions in various ragas alongside devotional and classical pieces.
Bombay Jayashri selected a mix of kritis, viruttams, and a Thiruppugazh for the album. The opening track Karuna Nidhiye employs the Bowli raga, while Varuvaaro follows in the Sama raga. Engu Naan uses the Dwijawanti raga, and Kanda Vandarul adheres to Natabhairavi. The album includes Eppadi Manam in Huseni and Konji Konji in Kamas. Rama Nama appears in the Desh raga, and Velane features the Behag raga. Two viruttams are present, with Virutham 1 set to Kandar Alangar and a Thiruppugazh composition in Hamir Kalyani titled Thiruppugazh (Jayasree).
The album reflects Bombay Jayashri’s interpretation of classical and devotional repertoire from the Carnatic tradition. The 1997 release date aligns with her early discography, though specific recording locations, accompanying artists, or production details remain undocumented in available sources. The CD format indicates a commercial distribution aimed at classical music audiences during the late 1990s.
