Re: kooththu

From the Bhakti List Archives

Badrinarayanan Seshadri • May 7, 1996

I had earlier written the following:

* 'kooththu' does not refer to holding hands and forming a
* chain. Rather, the word 'kuravai' denotes this. 'kuravai' also
* does not directly mean this. 'kuravai' is the thamil word for
                               ================================
* one of the 7 svaras. 
  ====================

This is wrong. I apologise. 'kural' is one of the 7 svaras.
'kuravai' refers to the tune or raga.
