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"
