'''Niroshta''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a pentatonic scale (''audava''/''owdava'' rāgam). It is a derived scale (''[[janya]]'' rāgam), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes).

''Niroshta'' literally means without the lips.<ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref> If the lips do not meet / touch, then the notes ''Ma'' and ''Pa'' cannot be uttered.<ref name="raganidhi" /> This scale does not use either note and hence the name. It is a very pleasing rāgam.<ref name="raganidhi" />

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

''Niroshta'' is a symmetric pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' ragam<ref name="raganidhi" /><ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref> in Carnatic music classification – ''audava'' meaning 'of 5') that does not contain ''madhyamam'' and ''panchamam''. 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|R2|G3|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|G3|R2|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadham''. ''Niroshta'' is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of [[Dheerasankarabharanam|Shankarabharanam]],<ref name="raganidhi" /><ref name="ragas" /> the 29th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam, though it can be derived from [[Mechakalyani|Kalyani]] by dropping both ''madhyamam'' and ''panchamam''. Shankarabharanam is the [[Major scale]] of Western music.

==Popular Compositions==
[[Muthiah Bhagavatar]] is credited with creating this scale. His melodious composition ''Raja Raja Radhite'' set to [[Tala (music)|Rupaka]] tala (3/4 beat) also does not use the syllables ''Ma'' and ''Pa''. Madurai [[T. N. Seshagopalan]], a disciple of Ramanathapuram C. S. Sankarasivam, who in turn is a disciple of [[Muthiah Bhagavatar]] has composed a [[thillana]] in Niroshta "tanana dhirana" in Adi Tala. Tanjavur. S. Kalyanaraman has composed a varnam "Kanin Maniye" in this raga. Other compositions include giri-putrika gaura-varni by Bangalore S Mukund in rupaka talam, jayati jayati jayashankara by Ashok R Madhav in rupaka tala.
