Hemavati
Hemavati is the name of a river and a raga. This 58th raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music is taken into Hindustani music as well. It is known as Simharavam or Deshi Simharavam in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music. The nadaswaram vidwans use this raga to play their instrument.

The swaras of Hemavati are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam. The sampoorna raga with all the seven notes is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Kharaharapriya, the 22nd Melakarta raga.
Ri, Ma and Dha are the jeevaswaras of Hemavati and Pa is the amshaswara. This is a thristhayi raga with lot of importance given to gamaka prayogas. Singing jandavarishas and daattuvarishas in this raga makes for a pleasant listening.
Hemavati is the fourth raga in the Disi chakra with mnemonic name Disi-Bhu. Some of its janya ragas are Chandrarekha, Hamsabhramari and Hemambari. Ika talanenura ina by S. Ramanathan, Neesarisaati by Thyagaraja and Sree Kanthimathim by Muthuswami Dikshitar are a few popular classical compositions. One can shift the notes of this raga to get three ragas – Vakulabharanam, Keeravani and Kosalam.
