Ragam Khamas

Khamas is a janya of the 28th melakartha ragam Harikambhoji. This is a ragam to depict bhakthi and can be sung at all times. I listened to some songs in Khamas - Brochevarevarura sung by Smt. Nithyashree, Rama jogi sung by Sri Semmangudi and Seethapathi sung by Smt. Sudha Raghunathan. Somehow I could not associate Rama jogi with Khamas though I am still trying. Also, I have listened to TMKrishna's rendition of Seethapathi and I must confess that I find this particular song better suited for a male voice. Khamas is a very beautiful ragam!
