Graha, Ansha, and Nyasa are key terms in the grammar of a
Raga.
Information Booster:
·
Graha, Ansha, and Nyasa are all
characteristics or functions assigned to specific notes within the framework of a Raga.
· They define the behaviour and emphasis of notes in melodic exposition.
·
Avartana, however, is a
term from Tala (rhythm), meaning one complete cycle of the rhythmic pattern.
· It belongs to the domain of time and rhythm, not to the melodic characteristics of a raga's notes.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Graha is the starting note of a composition.
·
Ansha is the most prominent or sonant note (Vadi) of the raga.
·
Nyasa is the note on which a phrase or a composition typically comes to rest.
· The first three are
melodic functions in a raga, while
Avartana is a
rhythmic unit, making it the odd one out.
