![]() ![]() Most lakshaṇa gītaṃs have been composed by Purandara Dasa. Lakshaṇa gītaṃ: the sāhityaṃ (lyrics), instead of praising God, enumerates in so many words, the lakshana of the raga, in which it is composed-giving among other details, its vakra svarā, graha, nysa, aṃśa svarā and its parent raga ( mēḷakarta rāga).Sāmānya gītaṃ: the simple song and it is also called sādhāraṇa gītaṃ or sancāri gītaṃ.There are three types of gītaṃs in Carnatic music tradition: Students learn these gītaṃs after attaining a course in the preliminary saraḷī svarās and alaṃkārās. The theme of the sāhityaṃ (lyrics) is to praise God. Gītaṃs are set in medium tempo and contain no saṃgatis or variations and the flow of the music is natural. However most gītaṃs are concluded by repeating a portion of the opening part. The gītaṃ is sung without repetition from the beginning to end. They often have no sangatis or variations, with each swara taking one syllable of the sahitya. Some gītaṃs contain sections rather than the defined divisions (pallavi etc.). Though gītaṃs have no absolutely defined divisions of pallavi, anupallavi or charanas, they may be observed in some cases. Devas ('Sura') worship ('nuta') your auspicious form ('kalyaani'). Your curly ('suruchira') tresses ('veni') resemble the bees ('bambhara'). Your eyes ('lochana') are like the lotus petals ('vanaruha'). You are the queen ('raani') of the omniscient. There is no "anga" change, repetition and Sangati in gītaṃ. You hold the divine ('vara') veena in your soft ('mrudu') hands ('paani'). Gītaṃ literally means "song" in Sanskrit.Ī gītaṃ is a simple devotional melody song with same tempo throughout the song. Geetam, ( Sanskrit: गीतम् gītaṃ) the simplest music form in Carnatic music, was created by Purandara Dasa in order to introduce talas with sāhityaṃ (lyrics).
