Amr̥tavarṣiṇi is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music), created in the early nineteenth century by Muthuswami Dikshitar. It is an audava rāgam (meaning pentatonic scale) in which only five of the seven swaras (musical notes) are used. It is a janya rāgam (derived scale), fairly popular in Carnatic music. There is a belief that Amr̥tavarṣiṇi causes rain ( The name of the rāgam is derived from the Sanskrit words Amrita: meaning Nectar and Varshini: meaning one who causes a shower or rain, and hence the association with rain ), and that the Carnatic composer Muthuswami Dikshitar brought rain at Ettayapuram, Tamil Nadu, India by singing his composition, Aanandaamrutakarshini amrutavarshini.

  • Amr̥tavarṣiṇi estas gamo (rāgam) en karnataka muziko. Ĝi estas kvintona gamo (audava rāgam aŭ owdava rāgam) kaj derivita gamo (janya rāgam) ĉar ĝi ne havas ĉiujn sep notojn (svaras) de klasika barata muziko. Laŭ popola kredo, ĝi okazigas pluvon. (eo)
