Kedara Kamodi (Odia: କେଦାର କାମୋଦୀ, romanized: kedāra kāmodi) is a rāga belonging to the tradition of Odissi music.[1][2][3] Falling under the meḷa Sri,[4] the raga uses both nisada swaras and is traditionally associated with the srungāra rasa.[5] This raga is considered a conjunct of the rāgas Kedāra and Kamodi. The raga has been used by most of the famous composers including Kabi Samrata Upendra Bhanja and Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha.
