Mangalam

Mangalam is a short Carnatic vocal invocation performed by Abhishek Raghuram. The track appears as the seventh and final piece on the album Gems Of Carnatic Music – Live In Concert 2006, released in 2011 on CD. The recording captures a live performance from 2006, though the specific venue and accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources.

The composition spans 1 minute and 1 second, adhering to the traditional mangalam format—a concluding benedictory chant in Carnatic concerts. Raghuram renders the piece in a concise, devotional style characteristic of the genre. The album itself compiles selections from the 2006 concert, featuring Raghuram as the primary vocalist. No label information is explicitly attributed to the release in the provided context.

Notable for its brevity, the track serves as a ritualistic closure to the concert recording. The album’s broader repertoire includes other classical compositions, but specific details about the accompanying instrumentalists, if any, or the full tracklist are not confirmed in the given data. The 2011 release date suggests a posthumous compilation of the 2006 live material, though no additional production or remastering credits are cited.
