Raga Jaunpuri is a rāga in Hindustani classical music in the Asavari thaat. Some musicians like Omkarnath Thakur consider it indistinguishable from the shuddha rishabh Asavari.[2] Its attractive swaras also make it a popular raga in the Carnatic circles with a number of compositions in South India being tuned to Jaunpuri.[3]

The name of the rāga may associate it with places of this name, such as Javanpur in Gujarat, close to Saurasthra region and Jaunpur in northern Uttar Pradesh.[3]

History[edit]

Jaunpuri was created by Sultan Hussain Sharqi of Jaunpur.

Structure[edit]

The Pakad is "m P n d P, m P g, R m P"

It is usually performed in morning (9-12pm).[1]

In Carnatic music[edit]

Structure and Lakshana[edit]

(the notes used in this scale are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, kaishika nishadham and shuddh dhaivatam)

In the Carnatic circles, Jonpuri is considered a janya rāga of Natabhairavi, the 20th Melakarta rāga.

Popular compositions[edit]

Jonpuri lends itself to songs that try to convey baltic

or a certain glorious grandeur or awe.[3]
