Bhavapriya (meaning The one dear to Bhava (Shiva)) is a ragam (musical scale) in Carnatic music (South Indian classical music). It is the 44th Melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music.
It is called Bhavāni[1][2][3] in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music.
Structure and Lakshana[edit | edit source]
It is the 2nd rāgam in the 8th chakra Vasu. The mnemonic name is Vasu-Sri. The mnemonic phrase is sa ra gi mi pa dha ni.[2] 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 R₁ G₂ M₂ P D₁ N₂ Ṡ[lower-alpha 1]
- avarohaṇa: Ṡ N₂ D₁ P M₂ G₂ R₁ S[lower-alpha 2]
(shuddha rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, kaisiki nishadham)
As it is a melakarta rāgam, by definition it is a sampoorna rāgam (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Hanumatodi (also known as Todi), which is the 8th melakarta.
Janya Rāgams[edit | edit source]
Bhavapriya has a minor janya rāgam (derived scale) associated with it. See List of Janya rāgams for full list of janya rāgams associated with Bhavapriya and other melakarta rāgams.
Compositions[edit | edit source]
A few compositions set to Bhavapriya are:
- Srikanta niyeda by Thyagaraja
- Jayathi Siva by Muthuswami Dikshitar
- Maam Avasrita by Swathi Thirunal
- Sentiru velan by Koteeswara Iyer
- Vennai tirudi by Periyasaamy Thooran
- Madhava mamava by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna
- Kanikarumbuto by Kalyani Varadarajan
- Bhuvaneshwari Brihannayaki by Ashok Madhav
Related rāgams[edit | edit source]
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.
Bhavapriya's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields two other minor melakarta rāgams, namely, Vagadheeswari and Naganandini. Graha bhedam is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the shadjam to the next note in the rāgam. For further details and an illustration refer Graha bhedam on Naganandini.
