Organization and relationships
[
edit
]
Kalavati is derived from a
Carnatic
raga (see also
Yagapriya
). According to J.D. Patki the raga was popularized in Maharashtra by Pandit Rao Nagarkar,
Roshan Ara Begum
and
Gangubai Hangal
. B.Subba Rao explains the Carnatic Kalavati as omitting Ga and Ni in aroha and Ni in Avaroha, using komal Re. That would make it closer to
raga
Jansamohini.
