Hi
I do not have any training in classical music.I listen to lot of carnatic songs though.So,i have been able to identify ragas if it is same as the songs i've heard.but,when I hear an RTP in carnatic music,i'm not able to identify the raga.Is there any technique for identifying ragas in carnatic music.

  There is no easy way. If you keep listening to more and more alapanas you will learn to recognize the RTP ragas.

  Thanks.Do the people who have learnt music in the formal way identify ragas by the arohanam and avarohanam when someone sings the alapana?

  People who do not know arohanam, avarohanam of a given raga can still identify a raga.
  
  Observation of arohanam & avarohanam to identify a ragam might be sometime useful to distiguish two ragas are more-or-less similar to each other
