Sri Ramanoumi Chitrambari Adi

Sri Ramanoumi Chitrambari Adi is a Carnatic vocal composition performed by M. Balamuralikrishna. The track appears as the opening piece on the album Raagaanga Ravali, released in June 2006. The recording spans 11 minutes and 4 seconds and adheres to the Adi tala, a fundamental rhythmic cycle in Carnatic music. The album was issued in CD format.

The composition centers on devotional themes, invoking Lord Rama through lyrical and melodic elaboration. Balamuralikrishna renders the piece in his distinctive style, characterized by intricate gamaka (ornamental) phrasing and expansive neraval (improvisational) segments. The accompaniment details—including supporting artists on violin, mridangam, or other instruments—remain undocumented in available sources.

Raagaanga Ravali serves as part of Balamuralikrishna’s later discography, showcasing his mastery of classical and semi-classical repertoire. The album label is not explicitly cited in public records, though the release aligns with his collaborations under major Indian classical music publishers of the era. The track exemplifies the artist’s ability to blend traditional kriti structures with spontaneous creative expressions, a hallmark of his performances.

No additional metadata regarding the raga (melodic framework) of Sri Ramanoumi Chitrambari Adi is confirmed. The composition’s textual content, including the lyricist or composer, is also unverified in accessible references. The 2006 release period coincides with Balamuralikrishna’s continued influence as a performer, composer, and teacher in the Carnatic tradition, spanning over six decades of active contribution.
