Ravikiran has shown an unusual facet of the typically fast paced Indian Raga, Malavi in this relatively slow paced Mishra Chapu (7/4 time signature) composition.  This tamil song also has an interesting opening in the high Sa with the first 2 syllables forming swaraksharas. 

It has been performed by Balamuralikrishna with Akkarai Subhalakshmi violin and Sundarkumar on mrdangam.
