Ghantaraba (Odia: ଘଣ୍ଟାରବ, romanized: ghaṇṭāraba) is a rāga belonging to the tradition of Odissi music.[1][2][3] Falling under the meḷa Bhairabi,[4] the raga uses komala rusabha, komala gandhara, komala dhaibata and komala nisada swaras and is traditionally associated with the vira rasa.[5] The raga is mentioned in treatises such as the Gita Prakasa[6] and Sangita Narayana.[7][5]
An ancient raga, Ghantaraba has been used by hundreds of poet-composers for well-over the past many centuries.[8] The raga is sadaba-bakrasampurna or hexatonic in its aroha and crooked-heptatonic in its abaroha (ascent and descent). Its aroha-abaroha are given below:
Aroha: S r g M d n S
Abaroha: S n d P d M g r S
The raga dwells or does nyasa on the madhyama and dhaibata as per tradition and evokes a virile mood. The pairing of these two notes forms a characteristic feature of the raga. It is sung in the third prahara of the night.[1]
