    Question

    'Antar Gandhar' of Karanataka Music is equal to which swara in Hindustani Music ?

    A.

    Komal ga

    B.

    Shuddha ga

    C.

    Shuddha ma

    D.

    Suddha re

    Correct option is B


    Correct Option-b)
    Carnatic (Karnataka) and Hindustani music share the same fundamental 12-note system but use different nomenclatures and sometimes different positions for microtonal shades (Shrutis). Antara Gandharam is a specific note in the Carnatic system.
    Information Booster:
    · 'Antara Gandharam' in Carnatic music is equivalent to Shuddha Gandhar (G) in Hindustani music.
    · In Carnatic's 72 Melakarta (parent scale) system, Antara Gandharam refers to the third note that is three Shrutis away from Shadja (Sa). This interval corresponds to a major third.
    · In Hindustani music, the note that forms a major third from Sa is Shuddha Gandhar.
    · The Carnatic Shuddha Gandharam is actually a different, lower-pitched note, equivalent to Hindustani's Komal Gandhar.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Komal ga in Hindustani is equivalent to Shuddha Gandharam in Carnatic.
    · Shuddha ma and Shuddha re have their own equivalents (Prathi Madhyamam and Chatusruti Rishabham/Shuddha Rishabham, respectively) and are not related to Antara Gandharam.
