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 ...
The raga has komal Ni and Ga. Rishabh ((re)second) and dhaivat ((Dha)sixth) are skipped in āroha (ascending) passages, but are given due importance when descending (avroha). Since the scale has 5 notes ascending and all 7 descending, the resulting jāti is Audav–Sampūrṇa . [ 1 ]
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]
Traditional Odissi exists in two major styles, the first perfected by women and focussed on solemn, spiritual temple dance ; the second perfected by boys dressed as girls [18] which diversified to include athletic and acrobatic moves, and were performed from festive occasions in temples to general folksy entertainment.

An alapana, sometimes also called ragam, [7] is the exposition of a raga or tone - a slow improvisation with no rhythm, [8] where the raga acts as the basis of embellishment. [9] In performing alapana, performers consider each raga as an object that has beginnings and endings and consists of sequences of thought.
Raga in Indian classical music is intimately related to tala or guidance about "division of time", with each unit called a matra (beat, and duration between beats). [73] A raga is not a tune, because the same raga can yield a very large number of tunes. [77] A raga is not a scale, because many ragas can be based on the same scale.
A raga which has a subset of svarās from a Mēḷakarta raga is said to be a janya (means born or derived from) of that Mēḷakarta raga. Every raga is the janya of a mēḷakarta raga. Janya ragas whose notes are found in more than one mēḷakarta raga are assigned (or associated) parent Melakarta based on subjective notions of similarity.
The musical raga expression of the pothis during the period of the early Sikh gurus were mostly stable throughout the years but the changes that are observed across the various texts reflect wider changes of Indian raga music during the time-periods they were compiled, such as the invention of new ragas and new forms of existing ragas.
