Melakarta Ragas Janya ragas are Carnatic music ragas derived from the fundamental set of 72 ragas called Melakarta ragas, by the permutation and combination of the various ascending and descending notes. The process of deriving janya ragas from the parent melakartas is complex and leads to an open mathematical possibility of around thirty thousand ragas. Though limited by the necessity of the ...
While ragas in Hindustani music are divided into thaats, ragas in Carnatic music are divided into melakartas. A raga (IAST: rāga, IPA:; also raaga or ragam or raag; lit. ' colouring ' or ' tingeing ' or ' dyeing ' [1] [2]) is a melodic framework for improvisation in Indian classical music akin to a melodic mode. [3]

The ragas within the chakra differ only in the dhaivatham and nishadham notes (D and N), as illustrated below. The name of each of the 12 chakras suggest their ordinal number as well. [2] [4] Indu stands for the moon, of which we have only one - hence it is the first chakra. Netra means eyes, of which we have two - hence it is the second.
The more closely the notes of a raga conform to the expression of one single idea or emotion, the more overwhelming the effect of the raga. Since the Raga Kambhoji has been classified as Female Raga (i.e., Ragini), this Raga is particularly suitable in conveying the sentiments of Shringara (romantic and erotic), Hasya (humorous) and Karuna ...
