Ragam Tanam Pallavi - Mohanam

Mohanam – Ragam Tanam Pallavi is a Carnatic music performance by vocalist Bombay Jayashri, released as part of the album Madrasil Margazhi 2006. The recording features a 54-minute-7-second rendition of the raga Mohanam in the traditional Ragam Tanam Pallavi format, a structured improvisational form central to South Indian classical concerts.

The album was issued on CD by Rajalakshmi Audio in 2007, documenting a live or studio performance from the 2006 Margazhi music season in Chennai. The track occupies the first position on the release. No additional artist credits or accompanying instrumentalists are specified in the available context.

The composition adheres to the conventions of the Ragam Tanam Pallavi structure, which typically includes three sections: ragam (elaboration of the raga), tanam (rhythmic syllabic improvisation), and pallavi (a composed thematic line followed by improvisations). The raga Mohanam, a janya (derived) raga of the 28th melakarta Harikambhoji, is known for its symmetrical pentatonic scale and emotive depth in Carnatic repertoire.

The release title Madrasil Margazhi 2006 references the annual December music festival in Chennai (formerly Madras), a month-long event showcasing classical performances by leading artists. The album format and label suggest a commercial recording intended for connoisseurs and students of Carnatic music. Further details about the accompanying artists, specific concert venue, or lyrical content of the pallavi remain undocumented in the provided context.
