NATA
Nata
Nata is a rāgam in Carnatic music . It is a janya rāgam from the 36th melakarta scale Chalanata. It is a janya scale, as it does not have all the seven swaras in the descending scale. It is a combination of the sampurna raga scale Chalanata and the pentatonic scale Gambhiranata. It is an auspicious raga, which is mostly sung in the early part of the concert.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Nata (raga)
