     Yes indeed.
     
     "  This is the BEST and toughest song ever ."..as admitted by G.sala, 
     him self. Pendyaala made him learn and  practice the song for over 3 
     months to record.  K.V.Reddy challenged Pendayyaala by asking
     " Pendyaala Garu, RaaLLani Karaginchaali. Marelo Raagam kadathaaro     
     Yemo ..!!!"
     Pendyaala composed it in 12 different Raagaas and recorded the song which  
     lasted for 12 minutes ( i.e. One new Raaga per every minute ). They        
     went to KVR for his blessing.  KVR was thrilled but, felt it to be too     
     long, and asked them to trim it 6 minutes.  That's how it was shot...

     BTW there is no Chorus in that song. That was recorded with a Technique    
     called Reverberation / Repeat Dubbing. They record it over and over on     
     the previous recordings while playing the latest repeat. Very Simple.
     Try it on your Kareokee.. It worked for me !! 

     I would say Pendyaala and Ghantasaala... OH! What a Combination

  Good morning:
     
  SivaSamkarI SivAnamdalahari - a song from Jagadekaviruni Kadha
     
  1) What is the rAgA?
     A mixture of Hindusthani is apparent.
     
  2) "camdrakaLAdhari ISvarI" - I hear chorus while these lines were
     sung.
     Also, the samgatulu were also sung by chorus at places.
     
     Was it Ghantasala or did he sing this song along with chorus?
     
     
     Any way, another unforgettable song by G.
