Organisation and relationships
Related/similar ragas:
- Bageshree, Dhanashree, Dhani, Patdeep, Hamsakinkini, Patdeepaki
- In Carnatic music, Karnataka Devagandhari is the most similar raga, falling with Melakarta 22 (Karaharapriya).
Behaviour
The madhyam (fourth) is the most important note - an important 'nyaas' sthaan (note for rest) with emphasized elaboration around this note - S g M, M g M, g M P, M P g M P (M) g (M) g M... The rishabh (second) and the dhaivat (sixth) are skipped in aarohi (ascending) passages, but are given due importance when descending (avrohi). Such property of the raga gives it Audava-Sampoorna jati.
Use of the dhaivat and rishabh is symmetric and both are approached via the succeeding notes (D from n, and R from g).g is taken with karn of m, n from sa. E.g.-g=mg and n=sn
