In pre-Bhatkhande days this Asavari used the Komal Rishab instead of Shuddh Rishab . When Bhatkhandeji created the thaat 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'.
