Ragas must contain the following characteristics to be considered Melakarta: They are sampurna ragas – they contain all seven swaras (notes) of the octave in both ascending and descending scale. [1] [2] The upper shadjam is included in the raga scale. [2] (ragas like Punnagavarali and Chenchurutti are not mēḷakarta as they end with nishadam)
A heptatonic scale is a musical scale that has seven pitches, or tones, per octave. Examples include: the diatonic scale; including the major scale and its modes (notably the natural minor scale, or Aeolian mode) the melodic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 6th and 7th ascending
It is the 21st Melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. The 21st melakarta rāgam as per Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music is Kiraṇāval̥i. This rāgam is a popular scale in western music as well. The Western equivalent is the Harmonic minor scale. [1] [2] It is said to be borrowed into Hindustani music from ...
The key signature defines the pitch of "1". So 1=C means "C major". Minor keys are based on the natural minor or the Aeolian mode, and the key signature defines the pitch of "6" of the minor key's relative major. 6=A can be used to refer to A minor, the tonic of which is written as 6.
In the Asampurna Melakarta system, there is no set rule for the ragas in contrast to the currently used system of Melakarta ragas. [1] [2] Some ragas though are the same in both systems (like 15 - Mayamalavagowla and 29 - Dheerasankarabharanam), and in some cases the scales are same, while names are different (like 8 - Janatodi and Hanumatodi, 56 - Chamaram and Shanmukhapriya).
Kamavardini scale with Shadjam at C. It is the 3rd rāgam in the 9th chakra Brahma.The mnemonic name is Brahma-Go.The mnemonic phrase is sa ra gu mi pa dha nu.

It is the 20th melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system. It corresponds to the Natural minor scale (alias Aeolian mode) of western music system. Natabhairavi corresponds to the Asavari thaat of Hindustani music. [1] [2] In the Muthuswami Dikshitar school this melakarta is instead known as Nārīrītigowla. [3]
The 7th Graha bhedam of Śaṃkarābharaṇaṃ has both madhyamams (Ma) and no panchamam (Pa) and hence will not be considered a valid melakarta (rāga having all 7 swarams and only 1 of each). This is only a classification issue with respect to melakarta scales, while this structure could be theoretically used well to create good music.
