Azhaga

Azhaga is a Carnatic vocal music album by Indian classical vocalist Bombay Jayashri. The artist released the album on November 1, 2009, under the Rajalakshmi Audio label in CD format. The recording features traditional compositions and viruttams (devotional verses) set to classical ragas, accompanied by instrumental support typical of Carnatic concert presentations.

The album comprises 13 tracks. The opening sequence includes a Viruttam in Madhurashtaakam followed by Kana kana rucira in Varali raga set to Adi talam. Subsequent tracks feature compositions such as Lavanya Rama in Purna Shadjam (Rupakam talam), Marakoti Koti in Arabhi (Jhampa talam), and Ennaga Manasu in Nilambari (Adi talam). The title track Azhaga Azhaga appears in Suddha Danyasi raga with Kanda Chapu talam.

Additional compositions include Andarama Soundariyam in Kedara Gowlai (Adi, 2 kalai), Sogasu Juda Tarama in Kannada Gowlai (Rupakam), and a Ragam Tanam Pallavi in Mayamalavagowlai (Adi, 2 kalai). The album also presents Kanda Nal Mudalai in Madhuvanti (Adi), a second Viruttam followed by Muruganin in Behag (Kanda Chapu), and a concluding Tillana in Kamas (Adi).

The release date coincided with a formal launch event on November 1, 2009. The album reflects Bombay Jayashri’s interpretation of classical and semi-classical pieces, though specific details about accompanying artists or production personnel remain undocumented in available sources.
