Raga Abhogi

About Raga Abhogi

Raga Abhogi or Raga Abhogi Kanada

Abhogi is a raga in Carnatic music and has been adapted to Hindustani music. It is a pentatonic scale, an audava raga. It is a derived scale (janya raga), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes). As it has Kanada Ang, Gandhar is used as Vakra: g m R S. Some musicians sing this Raga without the Kanada Ang (g m R S) rendering m g R S instead and call it Abhogi rather then Abhogi Kanada. This raga creates a deep atmosphere and can be expanded in all the three octaves.

The notes used are shadjam, chathusruti rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam and chathusruthi dhaivatham. Abhogi is considered a janya raga of Kharaharapriya, the 22nd Melakarta raga, though it can be derived from Gourimanohari too, by dropping both panchamam and nishadam.
