Sarali varisai 3
Sa Ri Ga turned back three times before the climb: the voice learns to circle a small group cleanly.
How to do it
- Sing it on the swara names with the tanpura, one swara per beat.
- Then twice as fast, keeping the beat steady (second speed).
- Then on "aa", with the same clarity.
Remember Every swara the same length.
