Enthavedu (Raga Saraswathi Manohari)

Enthavedu is a Carnatic instrumental composition performed by violinist Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan. The track appears as the second piece on his 1977 album Violin, released under the EMI label. The recording adopts the raga Saraswathi Manohari, a janya raga derived from the 28th melakarta scale, Harikambhoji.

The album was issued on a 12\" vinyl format, typical of Indian classical music releases during the period. Enthavedu spans 3 minutes and 54 seconds, showcasing Vaidyanathan’s interpretation of the raga through violin. The track exemplifies his technique in gamaka-infused phrasing and rhythmic alignment with the tala structure, though specific accompanying artists or percussion details remain undocumented in available sources.

The 1977 release marked one of Vaidyanathan’s commercial recordings under EMI, a label that distributed several of his works during the late 20th century. The album Violin primarily features solo and accompanied violin performances, with Enthavedu standing as a notable representation of his repertoire in lighter classical and devotional contexts. Further production credits, including recording location or engineers, are not publicly verified.
