Kanada (family of ragas)
Kanada (Hindustani pronunciation: [ˈkänəɽä ˈrägäŋg], (ISO 15919/IAST: Kānaṛā rāgaṅg Hindi: कान्हड़ा, Bengali: কানাড়া)) also known as Kanhada is a group of ragas in Hindustani classical music. The name Kanada suggests that it may have originated in the Carnatic music tradition and Kannada country.[1]
Ragas in this group belong to different thaats, but particularly to the Asavari or Kafi thaat.
Komal Gandhar (Ga) and Komal Dhaivat (Dha) are vakra (zigzag) in descent and are used in phrases like gMR and dnP.
