Raga Marghahindolam is an excellent ragam.
Many details are available in blog below of saidvk.
Few observations.
No composer or composition has captured the most beautiful phrase of the raga like Saint Tyagara ' mama pada nidha dhani saani...' in his Challamelara.
I always wished how nice it would have been had Saint Tyagaraja also included a chittaswaram in this kriti.
In Pandit Shivkumar's santoor rendering is too classical ( vishweswaran is sitting behind him).
Laxmi Shankar renders it really well.
Certain ragas and songs ( esp slow and deep rendering) I personally rate her better than MS, Latha and Vani. Listen to her rendering of 'maati khahe Kumar..'.
Rafi renders the melancholic version superbly.
Sanjay's rendering of Kalpana swaras in this composition are really amazing.
