Carnatic Music

Meḷakartā Riddle #12

I usually feature somewhere within the first three quarters of a concert. People never put me in the beginning or the end. However, that is not the case with one of my children. I may go unnoticed but people seldom forget him!

Hint

Think about the concert in reverse!

Suryakāntam (Meḷa 17)
Some may begin a concert with ‘sharaṇu siddhi vināyaka’ or śri gaṇapatini but most people end a concert with a mangaḷam in Sowrashtram ie. people seldom forget this raga!  Sowrashtram comes from Suryakāntam hence, the answer is Suryakāntam.
