Raag Description :

​

Raag Madhuvanti is a fairly recent melody. Earlier it was known as Raag Ambika. It is a sweet melodic combination with fair degree of freedom for development into an impressive mellifluous mood with wide public appeal.

 

This is a playful Raag full of romantic, loving sentiments.

​

The nearest Raag is Raag Multani. Using Rishabh and Dhaivat Shuddha in Raag Multani, Raag Madhuvanti appears. While rendering Rishabh in Avroh, Shadj (Sa) is used as a Kan swar, particularly in Alaps like: M g SR S.
