'''Navaneetam''' (pronounced navanītam, meaning ''the eternal new one'') is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 40th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''{{IAST|Nabhōmaṇi}}''' 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>
Navaneetham is a Sanskrit word meaning fresh butter. 'Nava' meaning fresh (new) and 'neetham' meaning butter.

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

It is the 4th rāgam in the 7th ''chakra Rishi''. The mnemonic name is ''Rishi-Bhu''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra ga mi pa dhi ni''.<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|G1|M2|P|D2|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|M2|G1|R1|S|foot=yes}}
(this scale uses the notes ''shuddha rishabham, shuddha gandharam, prati madhyamam, chatushruti dhaivatam, kaisiki nishadam'')

As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampurna raga|''sampūrṇa'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Vanaspati (Raga)|Vanaspati]]'', which is the 4th ''melakarta'' rāgam.

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Navanītam'' does not yet have a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Navaneetam|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for full list of ''janya'' scales.

==Compositions==
A few compositions set to ''Navaneetam'' scale are:

*''Umāpati pāhi'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]] in [[Telugu language|Telugu]]
*''Lēmidelpa peddavāru'' by [[Thyagaraja]] in [[Telugu language|Telugu]]
*''Sami ide nalla samayam'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]
*''Himātmajē Santatam Pāhimām'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]] in [[Sanskrit]]

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

''Navaneetam's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields no other ''melakarta'' rāgam, like all 6 rāgams in the ''Rishi chakra'' (''[[Salagam]], [[Jalarnavam]], [[Jhalavarali]], [[Pavani (ragam)|Pavani]]'' and ''[[Raghupriya]]'' being the other 5). Only these rāgams have a gap of 3 notes anywhere in their scale, between G1 to M2. Such a gap does not occur in any other ''melakarta'' by definition. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam.
