'''Dhanyasi''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) from the 8th ''[[melakarta]]'' scale ''[[Hanumatodi]]''. It is a ''janya'' scale, as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes) in the ascending scale. It is a combination of the pentatonic scale ''[[Udayaravichandrika|Shuddha Dhanyasi]]'' and the ''[[sampurna raga]]'' scale ''Hanumatodi''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref>

This is the common and popular scale and is used for portraying the ''[[Rasa (aesthetics)|bhakthi rasa]]''.<ref name="ragas" /> According to the [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school, there exists a scale with same name, ''Dhanyasi'', which is derived from ''[[Natabhairavi]] melakarta'' scale, instead of ''Hanumatodi'' scale.<ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref> This scale is less popular and has far less compositions set to it.

== Structure and Lakshana ==
[[Image:Udayaravichandrika scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|Ascending scale with ''shadjam'' at C, which is same as ''Udayaravichandrika'' scale]]
[[Image:Hanumatodi scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|Descending scale with ''shadjam'' at C, which is same as ''Hanumatodi'' scale]]

''Dhanyasi'' is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''dhaivatam'' in the ascending scale. It is an ''audava-sampurna'' rāgam (or ''owdava'' rāgam, meaning pentatonic ascending scale).<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi" /> Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows:

*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S|G2|M1|P|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N2|D1|P|M1|G2|R1|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam'' and ''kaishiki nishadham'' in ascending scale, with ''shuddha dhaivatam'' and ''shuddha rishabham'' included in descending scale. For the details of the notations and terms, see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]].

The rāgam used by Dikshitar school of music uses ''chathusruti rishabham'' (R2) in the descending scale, in place of ''shuddha rishabham'' (R1), bringing it under the 20th melakarta ''Natabhairavi''.<ref name="raganidhi" />
