 Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar, the doyen of Carnatic Classical Music delights us all by a composition from Raag Saveri.  Most of us know him as the revered GURU of  Yesudoss, the most popular even green Carnatic classical singer.

There is a Raaga called Saveri-Thodi in Hindusthani classical.  Honestly, I am not able to visualise how Carnatic classic Saveri is similar to this Raag. Enlightened Readers may dwell on this.

A film song based on Saveri = thodi is illustrated below.   Mukesh is the singer.
