Question

Komal Gandhar of Hindustani Classical Music is equal to which note of Karnatak Music?

A.

Shuddha Gandhar

B.

Sadharan Gandhar

C.

Antar Gandhar

D.

Shuddha Rishabh

Correct option is B


Correct Option: b)
The two primary positions are a lower-pitched variant and a higher-pitched variant, known by different names in the Hindustani and Carnatic (Karnatak) systems.
Information Booster:
· The Komal Gandhar of the Hindustani music system corresponds precisely to the Sadharan Gandhar in the theoretical framework of Carnatic music.
· Both terms denote the Gandhar note that is positioned 3 shrutis away from Shadja.
· This equivalence is established through the comparative study of shruti intervals across both musical traditions.
Additional Knowledge:
· Shuddha Gandhar in Hindustani music refers to the higher Gandhar, which is equivalent to Antara Gandhar (4 shrutis from Sa) in Carnatic theory.
· Antar Gandhar is the Carnatic term for the higher Ga, not the lower one.
· Shuddha Rishabh is the note Re (Rishabha), which is a completely different note from Gandhar.
