Komal Rishabh Asavari

Komal Rishabh Asavari (IAST: Komal Riṣabh Āsāvari), often simply called Asavari, is a raga in Hindustani classical music. As its name suggests, it differs from the raga Shuddh Rishabh Asavari by using a komal ("flat") re (Ṟ) while Asavari uses a shuddha (natural) re (R). It is believed that Komal Rishabh Asavari was the original form of Asavari.[2]
