'''Gangeyabhushani''' (pronounced gāngæyabhūshani<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref>) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 33rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music.<br />
<br />
It is called '''Gangātarangini''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="dikshitar" /><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><br />
<br />
==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Gangeyabhooshani scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Gangeyabhushani'' scale with Shadjam at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 3rd rāgam in the 6th ''chakra Rutu''. The mnemonic name is ''Rutu-Go''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ru gu ma pa dha nu''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''[[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|swaras in Carnatic music]]'' for details on below notation and terms):<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R3|G3|M1|P|D1|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D1|P|M1|G3|R3|S|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
The notes present in this scale are ''shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, kakali nishadham''.<br />
<br />
As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''shuddha madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Dhatuvardani]]'', which is the 69th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />

==Related rāgams==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Gangeyabhushani's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields ''[[Neetimati]]'', a minor ''melakarta'' rāgam. ''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 refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Gangeyabhooshani|Graha bhedam on Gangeyabhushani]]''.<br />
