Indraiyo Ival Sundhariyo - Kadhalan

"இந்திரையோ இவள் சுந்தரியோ" - A song from Kutraala Kuravanji penned by Thirikuda Rasappa Kaviraayar. 

இந்திரையோ இவள் சுந்தரியோ ?
தெய்வ ரம்பையோ மோகினியோ ?
மனம் முந்தியதோ? விழி முந்தியதோ?
கரம் முந்தியதோ ? எனவே,
உயர் சந்திர சூடர் குறும்பல ஈசர்,
சங்கணி வீதியிலே;
மணி பைந்தொடி நாரி வசந்த ஒய்யாரி,
பொன் பந்து கொன்டாடினளே;
மனம் முந்தியதோ ? விழி முந்தியதோ ?
கரம் முந்தியதோ ? எனவே..

(இந்திரை - திருமகள், குறும்பல ஈசர் - குற்றாலத்து சிவன், பைந்தொடி நாரி - பொன் வளையல் அணிந்தப் பெண்)

The poet originally describes a girl called Vasanthavalli who is in love with Kutraala Eeshwarar, Lord Shiva of Kutraalam temple located in between the Kutraalam Falls and tropical deciduous forest situated in the Thirunelveli District. Basically these lines personifies girl's quality and beauty.❤️

This song in the movie is to describe the overwhelming emotion of meeting up each other after a long time.

ARR never fails to come up with magnificent and riveting songs filled up with musical richness❤️.
ARR has made music with lines from Tamil literature for three albums. The very first one is this one. The other songs are Bharathiyar's Suttum Vizhi for Kandukonden Kandukonden and Bharathidhasan's Avalum Naanum for Accham enbadhu Madamaiyada. 

This is based on the Raagam Kedaram. Vocals by three singers, Minmini , Kalyani Menon and Sunandha. (Minmini is very special and favourite singer of mine❤️) 

We all know that Mahakavi Bharathiyar had mentioned Raaga and other Carnatic details for all his poems. Similarly, many say that Kutraala Kuravanji has the detailing about the type of Raaga in which it should be composed. I tried my level best to get the facts but I only ended up with the mystery of Whether ARR had used the same Raaga.

However, the love for this song is boundless ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've been listening to this song in loop for the past three hours and that's why I'm unable to resist posting this !
