From the point of presentation, how many Ragas of Audav Jati can be created from 'Thaat of shudha swar'?

Correct option is C

Correct Option: c)
The 'Thaat of shuddha swar' refers to the Bilawal Thaat, which contains all natural notes: S R G M P D N. An Audav Jati raga uses only five notes.
Information Booster:
· From the Bilawal Thaat (S R G M P D N), by selecting any five notes to form an Audav scale, we can theoretically create many combinations.
· However, from a practical presentation (performance) point of view, considering established melodic frameworks and avoiding mere note-sets, six well-known Audav ragas are recognised: Bhupali, Deshkar, Durga, Shuddha Kalyan, Bhoop-Kalyan, and another like Shivaranjani. Thus, the accepted answer is six.
Additional Knowledge:
· Mathematically, the number of 5-note combinations from 7 notes is 21, but most are not recognised as established, performable ragas with a unique melodic identity (chalan).
· The question emphasises "from the point of presentation," meaning established ragas in the repertoire.
