Kedaragouda (Odia: କେଦାରଗୌଡ଼ା, romanized: kedāragouḍā) 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 Goudā. The raga is mentioned in treatises such as the Gita Prakasa[6] and Sangita Narayana.[7][5] The most famous song in this raga is from the Kisorachandrananda Champu, a composition of Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha.[8]
