Rishabha ( Sanskrit: ऋषभ, romanized: Ṛṣabha) is the second svara out of the seven svaras of Hindustani music and Carnatic music. [1] Rishabha is the long form of the syllable रे for simplicity while singing the syllable. [2] Rishabha is pronounced as Re and Ri (notation - R).
The following is the information about Rishabha 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 Re is formed from Shadja.
Consequently, the Re after the Sa of 480 Hz (Taar Saptak) has a frequency of 540 Hz i.e. the double of the Lower octave Re.
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.
Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni - Shuddha Svaras Re, Ga, Dha, Ni - Komal Svaras Ma - Tivra Svaras
In the introductory part of Rishabha it is given that, 'Rishabha is the long form of the syllables रे and री. For simplicity in pronouncing while singing the syllable, Rishabha is pronounced as Re and Ri'. This is given because the pronouncing of the syllable Re is different in the Hindustani classical music and Carnatic classical music. In Hindustani classical music, the pronouncing of Rishabha is done as Re and in Carnatic classical music, the pronouncing of Rishabha is done as Ri.
So a Hindustani classical singer will sing the 7 svaras as : Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa.
While a Carnatic classical singer will sing these svaras like : Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa.
