The Indian National Anthem Jana gana mana is sung in the raga Gaud Sarang. [citation needed] It is believed that the National Anthem of India is in raga Bilaval,[3] but it isn't like that. There is a certain svara which changes the whole raga of the Anthem. In the national anthem, the tivraMadhyama svara is employed. Raga Bilaval doesn't have the svara of tivra Madhyama (obviously, raga Bilaval is the raga of all Shuddha Svaras and no other types of svaras).[4] But raga Gaud Sarang has the tivra Madhyama svara.[5] So from this, the National Anthem of India, Jana gana mana is in raga Gaud Sarang.
