Raag Jaunpuri
Raag Jaunpuri belongs to the Asavari family because the notes Ga, Dha, and Ni are all komal. Sultan Hussain Sharqi, a music aficionado and the last king of the Jaunpur sultanate is credited for creating this Raag. Jaunpuri is also similar to another ancient Raag Gandhaari. Watch the following videos for an introduction to Raag Jaunpuri, and a short presentation of the raag.
