What is Ilayaraja's favourite raga?
He has composed scores of songs in Madyamavati, Kalyani, Natabhairavi etc.
But I think his favourite raga is Shanmugapriya.
It plays an important part in all his non-film albums -- I could see traces of Shanmugapriya in 3 songs in "How to name it". Even in "Thiruvasagam", he ends "Pollavinayen" with a rousing Shanmugapriya.
