Origins & Context

Adana is a late night raga from the Asavari thaat which is very similar to Darbari, except it has no andolans, or light shakes, on ga and dha. Also, ga and dha are not found in the aroha.

The flow of this raga is similar to a mix of Madhyamad Saranga with Darbari. Another common vivadi some artists use sparingly is suddha ni which enhances the Saranga mood of the raga.
