Hindolam

Hindolam  is the Janya Raga of Natabhairavi , the 20th  Melakartha Raga . Its equivalent Raga  in Hindustani music is  Maalkauns. Hindolam is a soft and melodious raga and there are plenty of compositions available in light as well as semiclasisical genres..If Nishada swara in Hidolam is changed from "Kaishiki" to "Kakali", then the Raga changes to Chandrakauns.
