Nagadhvani
Indian Classical Raga
Nagadhvani is a janya raga of the 29th melakarta Shankarabharanam. It is a vakra raga with zig-zag note sequences in both ascent and descent. Subbarama Dikshitar's Sangita Sampradaya Pradarshini (1904) records it as an upanga janya under Mela 29, and the raga is practically extinct today.
