* Paadave Ragamayi
  • Film - SeetaRama Kalyanam
  • Year - 1961
  • Music Director(s) - G.Narasimharao
  • Singer(s) - P. Susheela
  • Comments - This piece is a bit problematic.  It has the notes of Desh but the movement of Tilak Kamod.  Therefore categorising it as either one poses problems.  Since it ultimately comes down to a judgement call, we are calling it Desh.  If you listen to it and decide you want to call it Tilak Kamod, fine, go for it.
