Jaunpuri

Raga Jaunpuri , Jonpuri, or Javanpuri is a rāga in Hindustani classical music in the Asavari thaat. Some experts like Pandit Omkarnath Thakur consider it indistinguishable from the shuddha rishabh Asavari. Its attractive swaras also make it a popular raga in the Carnatic circles with a number of compositions in South India being tuned to Jonpuri.

The name of the rāga may associate it with places of this name, such as Javanpur in Gujarat, close to Saurasthra region and Jaunpur in northern Uttar Pradesh.

Raga Jaunpuri was composed by Amir Khusro during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar.

(the notes used in this scale are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, sudhdha madhyamam, panchamam, kaishiki nishadham and sudhdha dhaivatham)

It is usually performed in the late morning (9AM-12 noon). The Pakad is "m P n d P, m P g, R m g"

In the Carnatic circles, Jonpuri is considered a janya rāga of Natabhairavi, the 20th Melakarta rāga.

Jonpuri lends itself to songs that try to convey bhakti or a certain glorious grandeur or awe.
