Bahudari (pronounced bahudāri) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a derived scale (janya rāgam), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes), derived from the 28th Melakarta raga Harikambhoji.[1]
Structure and Lakshana[edit]
Bahudari is an asymmetric scale that does not contain rishabham. It is called a shadava-audava rāgam,[1][2] in Carnatic music classification (as it has 6 notes in ascending and 5 notes in descending scale). Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):
- ārohaṇa : S G₃ M₁ P D₂ N₂ S[lower-alpha 1]
- avarohaṇa : S N₂ P M₁ G₃ S[lower-alpha 2]
This scale uses the notes shadjam, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam.[1][2]
