'''{{IAST|Nāgasvarāvaḻi}}''', is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is an ''audava'' rāgam (or ''owdava'', meaning pentatonic scale). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes).<br />
<br />
== Structure and Lakshana ==<br />
[[File:Nagasvaravali scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''{{IAST|Nāgasvarāvaḻi}}'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
''{{IAST|Nāgasvarāvaḻi}}'' is a symmetric rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''nishādam''. It is a pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' ragam<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref> in Carnatic music classification - ''audava'' meaning 'of 5'). Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see [[Swara#Svaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on below notation and terms):<br />
<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S|G3|M1|P|D2|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|D2|P|M1|G3|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the notes used in this musical scale are ''shadjam, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruti dhaivatam'')<br />
<br />
''{{IAST|Nāgasvarāvaḻi}}'' is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of ''[[Harikambhoji]]'', the 28th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgams, ''[[Chakravakam (raga)|Chakravakam]]'', ''[[Sooryakantam]]'', ''[[Dheerasankarabharanam|Shankarabharanam]]'', ''[[Vagadheeswari]]'' or ''[[Shoolini]]'', by dropping both ''rishabham'' and ''nishādam''.<br />
<br />

== Related rāgams ==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
=== ''Graha bhedam'' ===<br />
''{{IAST|Nāgasvarāvaḻi}}'s'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields another popular pentatonic rāgam, ''[[Hamsadhwani]]''. ''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 more details and illustration of this concept refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Hamsadhwani|Graha bhedam on Hamsadhwani]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Scale similarities ===<br />

*''[[Shuddha Saveri]]'' is a rāgam which has ''chathusruthi rishabham'' in place of the ''antara gandharam''. Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure is S R2 M1 P D2 S : S D2 P M1 R2 S<br />
