Ragas & Their Ragini Equivalents

[trippy monkey]

Many of us are well aware of ragas & certain raginis being 'partnered' together but how many can we name from the most popular ragas & not so??

I just remembered we'd had this kind of post before.
Thanks Alan.

The can of worms, of course is essentially the whole situation we have, where there are ancient texts describing different systems, the ragamala painting systems, which varied even between themselves, according to the location of the artist tradition.

And recently, we saw a hint of a different system in the (Dagar) dhrupad tradition, where if I remember correctly it was suggested that "family" associations were based on the seven "different" sas. Probably, if this arcane knowledge were ever revealed more fully to us, this might prove the more interesting of the associations, musically speaking.

And of course I'm skeptical about the possibility of this happening. For one thing, the mere idea of "7 different shruti" of one swara flies in the face of all shastric theory, AFAIK.

basically there are six ragas and thirty six raginis in Hindustani Classical music
before going to raga we have to see the swaras as the ragas are the combination of swaras

Six Ragas & 36 Raginis????
Seems to fit in with the idea of the sub-continents multi-wives syndrome!!!!
