Jayantasri

Indian Classical Raga

Jayantashri is a janya raga in Carnatic music, derived from the 20th melakarta raga Natabhairavi. It is an upanga raga said to evoke bhakti rasa. It resembles Hindolam, but differs by using panchamam. The raga is rare, with few widely sung compositions, including one by Thyagaraja.
