'''Rupavati''' (pronounced rūpavati, meaning ''the beautiful one'') is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 12th ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is one of the few rāgams given the same name by the [[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>
