Raja Rajadithe

Raja Rajadithe    Niroshta is a unique raga, invented by the Late genius Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar.

It is a janya of 29th mela, Dheera Shankarabaranam.
The specialty of this raga is that it does not have madhyamam and panchamam.
The other uniqueness of this raga is that while singing this raga, the upper and lower lips never meet.The raga name is derived from this specialty.(Nir=without, and Oshta= lips).
