Kantamani
The 11th chakra Rudra starts with Kantamani, the 61st raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music. In Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music, this sampoorna raga is known as Kuntalam.
Arohana: S R2 G3 M2 P D1 N1 S
Avarohana: S N1 D1 P M2 G3 R2 S
The notes of Kantamani are sahdjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, shuddha dhaivatham and shuddha nishadam. The mnemonic name of this raga is Rudra-Pa. It is a vivadi mela and is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Mararanjani, the 25th Melakarta raga.
Kantamani has very few janya ragas. The few compositions in the raga include Nadasukam by Koteeswara Iyer, Sri Sugandhi by Muthuswami Dikshitar and Palintuvo by Thyagaraja. Manavati is the raga obtained by shifting the notes of Kantamani using Graha bhedam.
