Madhuvanti

It is a romantic raga based on the foundation, eternity and colors of love.

It depicts the sringaar rasa, used to express the love of an individual towards his or her beloved.

Madhuvanti is the janya raga of the 59th Melakarta of Carnatic Music, Dharmavati.

This raga has been used to compose many tukadas (short compositions sung towards end of Carnatic music concert).

It has also been used in Indian movie songs and music as it lends itself to lilting melodies.
