What is isai dhanyasy?
isai is Music in Tamil and dhanyAsy is a janya (derivative) raaga of the 8th melakartha (base) raaga – HanumathOdi. And, what is a raaga? Well, limiting ourselves to a conceptual perspective, it is something in Indian Classical Music that may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring the mind of the listener with an emotion.

So why the name?
For a very eponymous reason, not that there is anything wrong with that, and as you will soon find out what the eponymy is. Section(s) of this site falling under the isai dhanyasy header is reserved for Indian Classical Music-related communications from my wife, Dhanya Subramanian. Now, do you see the connection? Well, never mind ..
