Asavari meaning
Asavari (आसावरी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
A particular rāgiṇī, a musical mode
Also used to mean: a raga, melody
Asavari (आसावरी) is the name of a raga. Monier-Williams records āśāvarī as a particular rāgiṇī or musical mode, and in Hindustani music Āsāvarī is a morning raga that also names one of the ten thāṭs, the parent scales of the system. Ragas were often personified as women, the rāgiṇīs, in poetry and miniature painting, which makes the name a natural choice for a girl. Name lists give "a raga" or "melody", in line with the dictionary. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra, often spelled Asawari.
