'''Nasikabhushani''' (pronounced {{IAST|nāsikābhūshaṇi}}) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 70th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''{{IAST|Nāsāmaṇi}}''' 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. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

==Structure and Lakshana==
[[Image:Nasikabhooshani scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Nasikabhushani'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]

''Nasikabhushani'' is the 4th rāgam in the 12th ''chakra Aditya''. The mnemonic name is ''Aditya-Bhu''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ru gu mi pa dhi ni''.<ref name="ragas" /> ''Nasikabhushani's'' {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows:
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R3|G3|M2|P|D2|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|M2|G3|R3|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham, kaisiki nishadham''. See [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on above notation and terms.

''Nasikabhushani'' is a ''melakarta'' rāgam and hence by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (that is, it has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Vagadheeswari]]'', which is the 34th ''melakarta'' rāgam.<ref name="Nasikabhushani">{{cite web |last1=S |first1=Aravind |title=Nasikabhushani, Oxymoron but beautiful |url=https://melakartamelodies.blogspot.com/2021/03/nasikabhushani-oxymoron-but-beautiful.html |website=Melakarta Melodies- A Journey through the 72 Melakarta Ragas |ref=4}}</ref>

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Nasikabhushani'' has a couple of minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Nasikabhooshani|List of ''Janya'' rāgams]] for full list of rāgams associated with it and other ''melakarta''.

==Compositions==
A few compositions set to ''Nasikabhushani'' rāgam are:

*''Maravairi ramani'' by [[Thyagaraja]]
*''Thandarul ayya'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]
*''Srirama Saraswathi'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]]
*''Adigalige Vandipe'' by [[Vijaya Dasa]]
*''Ambikām Upāseham'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]

==Related rāgams==
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

''Nasikabhushani's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'' from the ''dhaivatham'' (D2), yields another minor ''melakarta'' rāgam ''[[Shadvidamargini]]''. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam.

Nasikabhushani corresponds to [[Hungarian major scale]] in Western music.
