Raga Jaunpuri is an important and serene raga from the Asavari thaat, performed in the late morning.
Information Booster:
· Komal Gandhar in the Aroha (ascent) of Raga Jaunpuri is considered Alanghanmulak Bahutva.
· This Sanskrit term describes a note that is "much present through non-ascension." In Jaunpuri, the komal Gandhar ‘g’ is not allowed to be played in the ascent.
· This very act of avoiding or not crossing over the note in the aroha is what establishes its strong, implied presence (Bahutva).
· The alanghana (non-ascension) of the note gives it a powerful aesthetic weight, making it a prominent feature of the raga's mood even though it is absent in the ascending phrase.
Additional Knowledge:
· Abhyasmulak Bahutva refers to a note made prominent through frequent practice or repetition, which does not apply to the aroha of 'g' in Jaunpuri.
· Langhanmulak Alpavtra refers to a note made less prominent by being skipped over, which is the opposite of the concept at play here.
· Anabhyasmulk Alptva refers to a note being less prominent due to lack of practice, which is not the correct technical description for this specific rule in Jaunpuri.
