'''Rishabhapriya''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 62nd ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Charukesi]]'', which is the 26th ''melakarta''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref> It is called '''Ratipriya''' 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="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

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

It is the 2nd rāgam in the 11th ''chakra Rudra''. The mnemonic name is ''Rudra-Sri''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gu mi pa dha 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|R2|G3|M2|P|D1|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D1|P|M2|G3|R2|S|foot=yes}}

This scale uses the notes ''chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham'' and ''kaisiki nishadham''. As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale).

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
A few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) are associated with ''Rishabhapriya''. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Rishabhapriya|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for all associated scales of ''Rishabhapriya'' and other 71 ''melakarta'' rāgams.

==Compositions==
A few compositions which are set to ''Rishabhapriya'' are:

*''Ghana naya desika'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]
*''Maara ratipriyam'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]]
*''Nandisam vande'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]
*''Inta sodhanamulaku'' by [[Veene Sheshanna]]
*''Mahima dakkinchu'' by [[Thyagaraja]]
*''Panniru Kaiyane'' by [[D. pattamal]]

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

''Rishabhapriya's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'' from the ''panchamam'' (Pa), yields one other ''melakarta'' rāgam, namely ''[[Kokilapriya]]''. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam. "Rishabhapriya" and "Kokilapriya" are also the only melakarta rāgams to contain a [[wholetone scale]]. Omitting Pa in "Rishabhapriya" and Sa in "Kokilapriya" yields the scale. For further details and an illustration refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Kokilapriya|Graha bhedam on Kokilapriya]]''.

GOPRIYA is a janya raga created by omitting panchamam in the aarohanam and avarohanam (S R2 G3 M2 D1 N2 S---S N2 D1 M2 G3 R2 S) is special in that doing Grahabhedam on it generates the same raga itself over and over. This is because the notes are equally separated in frequency...source is a lec-dem by S. Soumya in Margazhi Maha Utsavam in January 2017. In western classical music terminology, this is called a Whole Tone Scale (Rudi Seitz, Jan. 12, 2013).
