The Asampurna Melakarta (transliterated as Asaṃpūrṇa Mēḷakarta) scheme is the system of 72 ragas (musical scales) originally proposed in the 17th century by Venkatamakhin in his Chaturdanda Prakasikha. [1] This proposal used scales with notes that do not conform to the sampurna raga system.
A melakarta raga must necessarily have S and P, one of the M's, one each of the R's and G's, and one each of the D's and N's. Also, R must necessarily precede G and D must precede N (krama sampūrṇa rāga). This gives 2 × 6 × 6 = 72 ragas. Finding mēḷakarta ragas is a mathematical process. By following a simple set of rules we can find ...

The Swaras 'Sa' and 'Pa' are fixed, and here is how to get the other swaras from the melakarta number. Melakartas 1 through 36 have Ma1 and those from 37 through 72 ...
The 72 melakartha ragas are arranged in a cycle called katapayadi sutra, named due to the index of the raga; we can get the name of the raga and the exact swara combination. The first 36 melakartha ragas have suddha madhyama, whereas the next 36 ragas have prathi madhyama.
Charukesi's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields 3 other major melakarta rāgams, namely, Vachaspati, Natakapriya and Gourimanohari. Graha bhedam is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the shadjam to the next note in the rāgam. For further details and an illustration, see Graha bhedam on ...
