Meaning, etymology & significance
Asavari (आसावरी) is the Sanskrit name of one of the classical ragas of Indian music — traditionally sung in the early morning hours. The raga is a thaat in Hindustani music and is among the foundational morning ragas in both Hindustani and Carnatic traditions.
In Sanskrit musicology the raga-personification tradition imagines each raga as a deity or a beautiful figure. Asavari is depicted as a snake-charming maiden in the great medieval rāgamālā paintings.
A daughter named Asavari is therefore named after this entire classical-music tradition. The name pairs especially well in musically-inclined families.
Pronunciation: aa-saa-VA-ree. Pair with classical surnames.
