45 Shubhapantuvarali


Carnatic Raga : Shubhapantuvarali

Type : 45th Melakartha in the 8th chakra Vasu, Sampoorna Ragam
Feel : Sad, Mourning, Melancholy
Rasa : Karunam, Bhakti
Timing : Morning
Aarohana : S R1 G2 M2 P D1 N3 S
Avarohana : S N3 D1 P M2 G2 R1 S

The raga is associated to heavy pathos in carnatic music. One of the ways to use this raga is to go very heavy and express/evoke heavy pathos and finish in a high tempo phase of festive mood. This raga will make you cry. If you are going through heavy pathos, listen to this raga and it will go to peak and end in peace. Nothing much to say about the raga. You start listening to shubapantuvarali and become still. Violin is very good to play this raga.
