Biography
Atana, Athana or Adana (अठाण / अठाणा / अडाणा) is a raga (musical scale) in Carnatic music (South Indian classical music). It is a Janya raga (derived scale), whose Melakarta raga (parent, also known as janaka) is the 29th Melakarta Sankarabharanam, 29th raga, commonly known as Dhirasankarabharanam in the Melakarta system. There is also a Hindusthani raaga named Adana (अडाणा), however, it is unrelated. Atana is very common in drama music. The note structures include, "Sadja, Chatusruti Rishabha, Suddha Madhyama, Pancama, Chatusruti Dhaivata, Kaisiki Nishada and as a rare feature, Kakali Nishada in descent." It is considered to be a very catchy raga that gives a stage flavor for a musician when everything is going dull in a concert. It stimulates the audience by its qualities of Veeram (courage).
