Jaunpuri

Raga Jaunpuri , Jonpuri, or Javanpuri is a rāga in Hindustani classical music in the Asavari thaat. Some experts like Pandit Omkarnath Thakur consider it indistinguishable from the shuddha rishabh Asavari. Its attractive swaras also make it a popular raga in the Carnatic circles with a number of compositions in South India being tuned to Jonpuri.

The name of the rāga may associate it with places of this name, such as Javanpur in Gujrat, close to Saurastra region and Jaunpur in northern Uttar Pradesh. The Yakshagana raga 'Saurastra' is very close to Javanpuri raga.
