'''Abheri''' (pronounced ābhēri) is a [[raga]] in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[Janya]]'' raga (derived scale), whose ''[[Melakarta]]'' raga (parent, also known as ''janaka'') is ''[[Kharaharapriya]]'', 22nd in the 72 ''Melakarta'' raga system.

''[[Bhimpalasi]]'' (or ''Bheempalas'') and ''[[Dhanashree]]'' of [[Hindustani music]] sounds close to ''Abheri''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

Abheri is an ''audava-sampoorna'' [[Raga]]. Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''[[Swara#Svaras in Carnatic music|swaras in Carnatic music]]'' for details on below notation and terms):

*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S|G2|M1|P|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|M1|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}

[[File:Abheri.wav|thumb|Abheri]]

The ''[[swara]]s'' in this scale are ''Chathusruthi Rishabham, Sadharana Gandharam, Suddha Madhyamam, Chathusruthi Dhaivatham'' and ''Kaisiki Nishadham''.

There are some differing views on swaras in the scale of Abheri. It is considered a ''Bhashanga'' raga (scale has an ''anya swara'', that is, a note which is not in the parent ''melakarta'' raga, in this case ''Kharaharapriya'' raga), with introduction of ''Suddha Dhiavatham'' (D1) in some phrases of the raga.<ref name="ragas" /> A different view is that this raga is a ''janya'' of ''[[Natabhairavi]]'' (which has D1, ''suddha dhaivatham'', in place of D2), with D2 being the ''anya swara'' (external note).<ref name="raganidhi" />

The original Abheri had Shuddha Dhaivatam and not Chathushruthi Dhaivatham in the Avarohanam, making it a Janya of [[Natabhairavi]] and not [[Kharaharapriya]] but was changed due to influences of [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani]] [[Bhimpalasi]] into the present form. R. [[Vedavalli]] sings the version of Nagumomu with Shuddha Dhaivatam. Today only one [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] Krithi called Veenabheri and Kandha Vandharul of [[Papanasam Sivan]] are sung in the original. In fact, all books published before 1960 classify it as a [[Natabhairavi]] Janya. [[Syama Sastri]]'s Ninnuvina Marigalada rendered in [[Reethigowla]] was originally composed in the old Abheri with D1. This has been rendered by [[Vedavalli]] too. In the 1st half of the 20th century, Nagumomu was also sung with D1 till it changed. As of [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]],  he has composed Panchashatpeetha Roopini in modern Abheri which he calls Devagandharam, a separate Raga. It makes sense to sing Nagumomu with D1 as [[Thyagaraja]]swami pleads to Rama to not torment him so it gives a more melancholic mood. 

In fact, there are 2 separate versions of Abheri which posses D1:

1. The one used by [[Thyagaraja]]swami has N2 in Arohanam

Aro: S G2 M1 P N2 S
Av: S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S

2. [[Dikshitar]]'s version has no N2 in Arohanam. He also uses Vakra Prayoga S M1 G2 M1. S G2 M1 and P N2 S Prayogas are not allowed in his variant. N2 S is allowed, perhaps in a P S N2 S Prayoga.

Aro: S M1 G2 M1 P S
Av:S N2 D1 P M1 G2 R2 S<ref>[http://The%20Abheri%20conundrum.%20(2009,%20March%2026).%20Just%20Thinking%20Out%20Aloud%20.%20.%20.%20https://sunson.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/the-abheri-conundrum/?source=post_page-----3e7e2d48d38e-------------------------------- The Abheri conundrum.

This [[Raga]] is closer to [[Bageshri]] as for [[Bageshri]] Gandharam is sung softly. Thus a subtle difference of Gandhara makes a listener to feel this raga as [[Bageshri]] .

== Popular Classical Albums on this Raagam ==
An excellent rendition of this Raaga can be found in one of [[L. Shankar]] Albums ''Raga Aberi''. He received a Grammy Nomination for this composition.

== Related rāgams ==
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

''Abheri's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 3 other janya rāgams, namely, ''[[Mohanakalyani]]'', ''[[Kedaragaula]]'' and ''[[Aarabhi|Arabhi]]'' (if we consider the Kharaharapriya-based scale). ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''Shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam. In case of ''Janya'' ragams, only notes that occur in both ascending and descending scale are taken for this change. For further details and an illustration of ''Graha bhedam'' refer [[Graha bhedam#Example Illustration|''Graha bhedam'' on ''Sankarabharanam'']]. Abheri has close resemblance to Karnataka—devagandhari and [[Bhimpalasi]]. Whether they are essentially same is a matter of debate among the musicologists.
