Raga Jaunpuri is a rāga in Hindustani classical music in the Asavari thaat.
[2] Its attractive swaras also make it a popular raga in the Carnatic circles with a number of compositions in South India being tuned to Jaunpuri.
[3] 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.
[1] (the notes used in this scale are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, kaishika nishadham and shuddh dhaivatam) In the Carnatic circles, Jonpuri is considered a janya rāga of Natabhairavi, the 20th Melakarta rāga.
Jaunpuri lends itself to songs that try to convey baltic or a certain glorious grandeur or awe.
