*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R2|G2|M2|D2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|M2|G2|S|foot=yes}}

The notes in this scale are ''chathushruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatam'' in ''arohana'' and additional ''kakli nishadham'' in ''avarohanam'', in place of ''sadharna rishabham'' (see pictures). From ''Dharmavati'' scale (59th melakarta), the panchamam is removed in this scale and the rest are used in asymmetrical manner which gives the pleasing aspect to this ragam.

S R2 G2 S, S N3. D2. S - is a catch phrase that is unique to ragam Ranjani (where N3. and D2. denotes lower octave).
