Kedaragouda (Odia: କେଦାରଗୌଡ଼ା, romanized: kedāragouḍā) is a rāga belonging to the tradition of Odissi music.[1][2][3] Falling under the meḷa Sri,[4] the raga uses both nisada swaras and is traditionally associated with the srungāra rasa.[5] This raga is considered a conjunct of the rāgas Kedāra and Goudā. The raga is mentioned in treatises such as the Gita Prakasa[6] and Sangita Narayana.[7][5] The most famous song in this raga is from the Kisorachandrananda Champu, a composition of Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha.[8]
An ancient raga, Kedaragouda has been used by hundreds of poet-composers for well-over the past many centuries.[9] The raga is bakra sadaba or devious-hexatonic in its aroha and sampurna or heptatonic in its abaroha (ascent and descent). Its aroha-abaroha are given below :
Aroha : S R M P D n D P N S
Abaroha : S n D P M G R S
The raga dwells or does nyasa on the rusabha, as per tradition and evokes a solemn mood.[8]
