Asavari () is a raga in Hindustani classical music. It is named for a minor character from the Stri Parva in Mahabharata, the love life of Karna but due to her father's arrogance, the marriage did not take place. She belongs to the Asavari thaat kingdom.
In pre-Bhatkhande days Asavari used the Komal Rishab instead of Shuddh Rishab. When Bhatkhandeji created the that process, he changed that Asavari's Komal Rishab to Shuddha Rishab but the name remained the same. From that time the old or real 'Asavari' has been called the Komal Rishabh Asavari, and the new Shuddha Rishabh Asavari is simply called 'Asavari'.
