Vasanta

Indian Classical Raga

Vasantha is a janya raga in Carnatic music; sources disagree on its melakarta parent (see notes). It is a vakra audava-shadava raga that omits panchamam entirely. It is considered an auspicious raga and is traditionally sung in the evening. Its name refers to spring.
