Organization and relationships

Flat Ga is usually omitted in ascent and in descent always appears in the distinctive Kanada phrase g M R S. Flat Dha is present in descent, but one should never linger on it. In fact it is omitted by some musicians completely. Most movements are in the upper tetrachord, around high Sa. It is very common to begin the elaboration of this raga with high Sa [Bor 1997] .

Historical Information

Ādāna was previous called Āḍḍānā [Kaufmann] Adana was a major raga in the 17^th century and a combination of the then current ragas Malhar and Kanada. In a ragamala from Mewar it is depicted as an ascetic man sitting on a tiger skin, however, Somanatha describes him as Kama the god of love. His Adana was quite different from the raga as it is performed today. [Bor 1997]
