Question

In Carnatic music, the concluding part of 'Pallavi' is usually known as:

A.

Ragamalika

B.

Varnam

C.

Anu Pallavi

D.

Thanam

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Anu Pallavi.

  • In Carnatic music, the term 'Pallavi' refers to the opening section or the first part of a composition.

  • The Anu Pallavi is the concluding part of the Pallavi. It often serves as a refrain or a continuation of the melody, and it comes after the initial Pallavi and before the Charanam or final verse.

  • It is an important part of the structure in compositions like Kritis, and it complements the Pallavi, often repeating the melodic themes in a slightly varied form.

Information Booster:

  • Ragamalika refers to a type of composition that uses multiple ragas (melodies), and it is not the concluding part of the Pallavi.

  • Varnam is a type of Carnatic music composition that serves as a warm-up or introduction and is usually performed at the beginning of a concert.

  • Thanam is a type of melodic improvisation in certain ragas, typically associated with the alapana section, and is not used to conclude the Pallavi.
