Rishi-The seventh chakra
Rishi is the seventh chakra in the melakarta scheme. The chakra is so named to denote the well known
‘sapta’ or seven rishi-s — Gautama, Viswamitra, Kasyapa, Jamadagni, Bharadwaja, Atri and Vasishtha. The sages
are depicted in the green coloured inset.
As in the previous chakra-s the mela raga-s of the asampoorna and the sampoorna paddhati-s are mentioned
in the table.
