Madhukiri (Odia: ମଧୁକିରୀ, romanized: madhukirī, alternatively spelled madhukeri) is a rāga belonging to the tradition of Odissi music.[1][2][3] Falling under the meḷa Sri,[4] the raga uses komala nisada and is traditionally associated with the karuṇa rasa.[5] The raga is mentioned in treatises such as the Gita Prakasa[6] and Sangita Narayana.[7][5]

Structure

[edit]

An ancient raga, Madhukiri has been used by hundreds of poet-composers for well-over the past many centuries.[8] The raga is sadaba or hexatonic in its aroha and abaroha (ascent and descent). Its aroha-abaroha are given below :

Aroha : S R M P D n S

Abaroha : S n D P M R S

The raga dwells or does nyasa on the dhaibata, as per tradition and evokes a melancholic mood. It is uttaranga-pradhana, that is, moves more in the higher part of the pitch scale. It is sung in the third prahara of the night.[1]

Compositions

  • Gati Mora Nanda Nandana, archaic composition[1]
