Dhevagaandhaari

Devagandhari (pronounced devagāndhāri, Sanskrit: देवगांधारि Tamil: தேவகாந்தாரி) is a raga (musical scale) in Indian classical music. It is used in the Sikh tradition of northern India and is part of the Guru Granth Sahib. In the South Indian classical music, Devagandhari is ajanya raga (derived scale), whose melakarta raga (parent scale, also known as janaka) is Shankarabharanam, 29^th in the 72 Melakarta raga system.

Structure and Lakshana

Ascending scale with Shadjam at C

Descending scale with Shadjam at C

Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):

• ārohaṇa : S R2 M1 P D2 S
• avarohaṇa : S N3 D2 (N2 , D2) P M1 G3 R2 S

Devagandhari ragam is an owdava-vakra-sampurna raga meaning, in arohana 5swaras come (so it is called owdava) and in avarohana all swaras come (sosampurna), and there is a "zigzag" pattern of notes (so vakra). The notes used in this ragam are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatam and kakili nishadham. This ragam sometimes includes the kaishika nishadham (anya swara - a note external to the scale, making this a bhashanga ragam).

The closest raga to this one is Arabhi. Some of the things that makes Arabhi different (though both share the same ascending and descending scale, in terms of basic notation) are:

• Devagandhari is sung with gamakas and vilambita kala prayogas (usages with elongated notes)^[1]
• Devagandhari is sung with dheerga gandharam (elongated G3)^[1]
• Devagandhari is a bhashanga raga, and certain prayogas use the kaishika nishadham: S N3 D N2 , , D P

Popular Compositions

Here are some more compositions set to Devagandhari.

Carnatic Music Raagaas - Desh

Desh

The suppression of the senses releases a negative force. The process of sublimation needs a spiritual path. Rag Desh can provide that. Its positive energy gives one serenity, peace, inner joy, right valour, universal love and patriotism.

The mellifluous `Vande Matharam' has been aptly composed in Desh. `Vaishnava Janatho,' Mahatma Gandhi's favourite, is set in Desh, which is a favourite in both Carnatic and Hindustani streams of music.

`Shanthi nilava vendum,' `Inda ulagil irukkum mandaril ezhil udayon engal tamizhan' (M.M. Mariyappa for the film "Kanjan" , `Leelaigal purivane' in the film "Meera," `Thunbam nergayil' in "Or Iravu," `Maadu meykum kanna' sung by Madurai Somu.
