Kedara Kamodi (Odia: କେଦାର କାମୋଦୀ, romanized: kedāra kāmodi) is a rāga belonging to the tradition of Odissi music. Falling under the meḷa Sri, the raga uses both nisada swaras and is traditionally associated with the srungāra rasa. 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.

Structure

An ancient raga, Kedara Kamodi has been used by hundreds of poet-composers for well-over the past many centuries. The raga is bakra in its aroha and abaroha (ascent and descent). Its aroha-abaroha are given below :
