Many take great pleasure in knowing the names of various ragas. It is interesting to note that many raga names are fondly used to name children in the family. It is highly musical to hear children bearing names like Sahana, Hamsadhwani, Lathangi, Shanmugapriya, Sriranjani etc. Many people like to hum popular Carnatic music compositions like Vatapi Ganapathim Bhajeham, in the raga Hamsadhwani, Mahaganapathim Manasa Smarami in raga Natta, Nagumomo Kanaleni in raga Abheri, etc. and derive tremendous pleasure if they are able to reproduce the song fairly correctly. Skanda's catalogue contains two very detailed books in Carnatic music. O
