Origins & Context
Asavari is the representative raga of the Asavari thaat. This morning raga's overall mood is perceived as either a sad raga or just a serious raga. Raga Asavari shares a very similar scale to Raga Jaunpuri, but Asavari has more simplistic flow and fewer notes in the aroha than Jaunpuri.
Generally, most artists use suddha re for this raga. Some older artists, especially rudra vina players, use komal re instead. Thus, this raga is known as Raga Komal Risabha Asavari.
