Dhaivata ( Sanskrit: धैवत, romanized: Dhaivata) is the sixth svara from the seven svaras of Hindustani music and Carnatic music. [1] [2] Dhaivata is the long form of the syllable ध. [3] For simplicity in pronouncing while singing the syllable, Dhaivata is pronounced as Dha (notation - D).
The following is the information about Dhaivata and its importance in Indian classical music :
षड् - 6, ज -जन्म . Therefore, it collectively means giving birth to the other 6 notes of the music.
So the svara Dha is formed from Shadja.
Consequently, the Dha after the Pa of 320 Hz (Taar Saptak) has a frequency of 800 Hz i.e. the double of the Lower octave Dha. There are 3 Shruti of Dhaivata. Previously the main Shruti, not only for Re but for all the other svaras, was on the last Shruti but now it is considered to be on the 1st Shrurti. For example, if these are the 3 Shruti's of Re then,
Previously this was the position of the main Shruti of Re. ^ 1 2 3 ^ But now this position has become the main Shruti of Re.
