Sivaranjani
One more haunting ragam.
Ilayaraja
1. Abbanee tiyyani debba (JVAS / Veturi / SPB and Chitra)
I think this is the first use of this ragam for sringara rasam
Others
1. Alaamandi padake jabili (SPB/Jockey / Veturi/S Janaki)
2. Ee gali ee nela (KVM / Sirivennala / SPB and Suseela)

Mayamalava Gowla
This is the first ragam that people who learn carnatic music get exposed to , the sarali swaralu
( స రి గ మా ప ధా ని స ) are based on this ragam.
The reason for such a hurried post is because I was hearing to Yamaho ni yama yama from JVAS which is based on this ragam.
Illayaraja
1. Yamaho ni yama (Jagadeka Veerudi Atiloka Sundara / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
2. Muddutho sringara beetu (Dharmaskhsetram / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
Again use of this ragam for such a mass number - only raja can do
3. Jinjinaka Jinkara (Surya IPS / Veturi / SPB and Chitra)
4. Pavuraniki Panjaraniki (Chanti / veturi / SPB)
( స రి గ మా ప ధా ని స ) are based on this ragam.

Hamsadhwani
Hamsadhwani means the call of a hamsa (Swan). I have never heard the dhwani of hamsa, but I have heard that a Hamsa can separate milk from water and also it seems to have a graceful walk.
This raga can pep you up in any mood. There are limited number of songs in films as far as I know.
In traditional songs, the most popular is ' Vathapi Ganapathim Bhaje' (Muthuswami deekshitar krithi).
Illayaraja
1. Eenade Yedo ayyidi (Prema/ Athreya / SPB and Chitra)
What a song! - My mom when she first heard the song said Raja might have hugged
Balu for the way this song is rendered.
2. Tarali radha tane vasantham (Rudra veena/ Sirivennala / SPB)
Mindblowing orchestration
SPB
1.Mounam ganam madhuram (Mayuri/Veturi/SPB and Janaki)
Others
1. Sri Raghuram jaya raghu ram (Music Ghantasala) (Santhinivasam / Samudrala / PB Srinivas and Suseela)

Mohana
This ragam is used to describe beauty, express love, express happiness. More description available here.
Illayaraja
1. Ade neevu ade nenu (Abhinandana / Athreya / SPB)
Again raja used an unconventional raga for the mood of the song
Others
1. Madhuramey sudha ganam (Music : Madhavapeddi Suresh) (Brindavanam / Veturi / SPB and Janaki)
2. Mohana Ragamaha (Music : Pendyala Nageswara rao) (Mahamantri Timmarasu / Pingali / Ghantasala and Suseela)
3. Palikinadi Pilichinadi (Music: Satyam) (Seetharamulu / ? / SPB and Suseela)
A typical mohana song - starts of with a swaras followed by varnam based on the raga (Varaveena mrudipani).

Sindhu Bhairavi
This ragam is supposed to have been the first ragam played by Goddess Saraswati on her Veena. I have read and heard that it is similar to the Hindustani Bhairavi. (I do not know the swaras, will quote when i find them).
The famous patriotic song "Mile Sur Mera tumhara" is based on this ragam. I believe each music director has a distinct style in composing in this raagam.
Illayaraja and Saluri rajeswara rao come on top of my mind when i think of this ragam.
