Years ago, my son-in-law's mother collected a few hundred Javalis (a type of composition that is a part of Carnatic Classical Music) as part of her M.Phil & Ph.D research work. Most of these were in Telugu, but a few are also from other Indian languages. While she originally wanted to publish the collection as a book, I thought we could also publish these via Internet - so that a larger population could search, and access the content. We're currently publishing only lyrics, in Telugu and English script. And we're posting a few javalis each week. Here're my requests: 1) Please visit Javalis - Lyrics And More 2) If you are interested in music, and particularly Javalis, please subscribe. You will get an update whenever a new Javali is posted 3) Please share the site with your friends and acquantances who are interested in music / dance forms of India 4) If you have any Javalis that you think you would like to share with us, please mail the same to javaliwebsite@gmail.com 5) If you have any comments / feedback / requests about the site, please mail the same to javaliwebsite@gmail.com 6) If you have access to the notation / audio / video of any Javalis, please mail the links/content to javaliwebsite@gmail.co
