{{short description|Composition in Carnatic Music}}
'''Navaragamalika''' (pronounced navarāgamālika) is a composition in [[Carnatic Music]] that is composed using a collection of nine [[raga]]s.<ref>{{cite journal |year=1994 |journal=Indian review of books |publisher=Acme Books |volume=4 |pages=28 |issn=0971-2054 }}</ref> Each verse is set to a different raga.

== Etymology ==
''Navaragamalika'' is the [[samasa]] of two words, ''nava'' and ''ragamalika''. ''Nava'' means nine. ''Ragamalika'' means a garland of ragas in a composition.

== Compositions ==
The most well-known example of a Navaragamalika is ''Valachi Vachi'', a [[Telugu language|Telugu]] [[varnam]] in the nine ragams of [[Kedaram]], [[Dheerasankarabharanam|Shankarabharanam]], [[Kalyani (raga)|Kalyani]], Begada, [[Kambhoji]], [[Yadukulakamboji]], [[Bilahari]], [[Mohanam]] and [[Shree (Carnatic raga)|Shree ragam]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Analytical studies in world music |url=https://archive.org/details/analyticalstudie00tenz |url-access=registration |last=Tenzer |first=Michael |year=2006 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press US]] |isbn=978-0-19-517788-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/analyticalstudie00tenz/page/310 310] }}</ref> The author of the varnam is said to be [[Patnam Subramania Iyer]],<ref>{{cite book |title=Swati Tirunal and his music |last=Iyer |first=S.

''Navaragamalikas'' are commonly used in the composition of ''Pada Varnams'', which are a class of ''varnams'' composed mainly for dance. They are particularly useful when the song is intended to portray the ''[[Navarasas]]'', or nine emotions. ''Navaragamalika Pada Varnams'' include:

''Samiyai Azhaitodi Vaa'', composed by K N Dandayuthapani Pillai, in ragas [[Hanumatodi|Todi]], [[Mohanam]], [[Vasantha (raga)|Vasanta]], Devamanohari, [[Dheerasankarabharanam|Shankarabharanam]], Saranga, Kaanada, [[Arabhi]] and [[Bhairavi (Carnatic)|Bhairavi]]. This composition makes use of the raga [[mudra (music)|mudra]]s in the ''Sahityam'' (lyrics) of the song.

''Angaiyar Kanni'', by [[Lalgudi Jayaraman]], is a ''Navarasa Varnam''. It is composed in ragas [[Bilahari]] - portraying ''Ananda'' (Bliss) or ''Veera'' (Valour), Huseni - portraying [[Sringara|''Shringara'' (Love)]], [[Valaji]] - ''Adbhuta'' (Wonder), Saranga - ''Hasya'' (Humour), [[Sucharitra]] - ''Bibhasta'' (Disgust), [[Atana]] - ''Raudra'' (Anger), [[Rasikapriya]] - ''Bhayanaka'' (Fear), [[Sahana (raga)|Sahana]] - [[Karuṇā|''Karuna'' (compassion)]] and Nadanamakriya - ''Shantam'' (Peace).
