'''Gavambodhi''' (pronounced gavāmbōdhi, meanin ''The teacher of the cows'') is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 43rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''{{IAST|Geervāṇi}}''' or '''{{IAST|Girvāṇi}}''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref><ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S.

==Structure and Lakshana==
[[Image:Gavambhodi scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Gavambodhi'' scale with Shadjam at C]]

It is the 1st rāgam in the 8th ''chakra Vasu''. The mnemonic name is ''Vasu-Pa''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra gi mi pa dha na''.<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):
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R1|G2|M2|P|D1|N1|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N1|D1|P|M2|G2|R1|S|foot=yes}}
(the notes used in this scale are ''shuddha rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, shuddha nishadham'')

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 ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Senavati]]'', which is the 7th ''melakarta''.

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Gavambodhi'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Gavambhodi|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for all ''janya'' rāgams associated with ''Gavambodhi''.

==Compositions==
A few compositions set to ''Gavambodhi'' are:

*''Virai vagave'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]
*''Vinati chakonavayya'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]
*''Namomasti geervani'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]]
