'''''Shankara''''' is a [[raga]] in [[Hindustani classical]] music.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
The raga emerges from [[Bilaval (thaat)|Bilaval]] [[thaat]].<br />
<br />
==Technical description==<br />
The raga is of audav-shadav nature, i.e., it has five swaras (notes) in the [[arohana]] (ascent) and six in the [[avarohana]] (descent). All the swaras are used are shudhha swaras, no komal swara is used. It is an Uttaranga pradhan raga, with the higher notes on the [[saptak]] (octave) being used more frequently.<br />
<br />
:Arohana: Sa Ga Pa Ni Dha Sa Ni Sa.<br />
:Avarohana: Sa Ni Dha Pa, Ga Pa Ga (Re) Re Sa.<br />
:[[Pakad]]: Sa Ni Pa Ga Pa, Re Ga Re Sa.<br />
<br />
The [[vadi (music)|vadi]] swara is Ga, and the [[samvadi]] is Ni. The rishabh (Re) is very weak, but yet significant in the way it supplements the gandhar (Ga).<br />
<br />
==Samay (time)==<br />
This proper time to sing this raga is supposed to be the last phase of night. ( 12 - 3 A.M. )<br />
