Raga Kalavati

About Raga Kalavati

Raga Kalavati or Kalawati

The word Kalavati implies ‘the one adorned with the ‘kalas’ or ‘arts’. So Kalavati also refers to Goddess Saraswati, who is considered the Goddess of knowledge, wisdom and all forms of arts. It is a very melodious raga and the beauty of the raga lies in its simplicity which makes it extremely pleasant to the ears and gives relief to stress.

Kalavati or Kalawati is a modern pentatonic Hindustani classical raga. Svaras Re (the second tone) and Ma (the fourth tone) are strictly omitted (Varjya/Varjit). Kalavati belongs to the Khamaj Thaat. Raga Kalawati is a simple but melodious Raga. One has to be careful while singing as it has Rishabh and Madhyam forbidden.

Kalavati is derived from a Carnatic raga. According to J.D. Patki the raga was popularized in Maharashtra by Panditrao Nagarkar, Roshan Ara Begum and Gangubai Hangal. B. Subba Rao explains the Carnatic Kalavati as omitting Ga and Ni in aroha and Ni in Avaroha, using komal Re. That would make it closer to raga Jansamohini.

In Carnatic music, Kalavati is approximated as Valachi or Valaji, and is considered to be S G P D n S/S n D P G S, and a janya of the 28th Melakartha, Harikambhoji.
