'''Sarasangi''' (pronounced sarasāngi) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 27th ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''Sowrasena''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref>
In Western music it is known as the [[Harmonic major scale]].

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

It is the 3rd rāgam in the 5th ''chakra Bana''. The mnemonic name is ''Bana-Go''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gu ma 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|M1|P|D1|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D1|P|M1|G3|R2|S|foot=yes}}

This rāgam uses the ''swaras'' ''chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadham''.

By definition, Sarasangi, a ''melakarta'' rāgam, is a [[sampurna raga|''sampurna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''shuddha madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Latangi]]'', which is the 63rd ''melakarta'' scale.

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Sarasangi'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it, of which ''Kamala manohari'' and ''Nalinakanti'' are popular. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Sarasangi|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for all rāgams associated with ''Sarasangi''.

==Compositions==
Here are a few common compositions sung in concerts, set to ''Sarasangi''.

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

''Sarasangi's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 2 other major Melakarta rāgams, namely, ''[[Dharmavati]]'' and ''[[Chakravakam (raga)|Chakravakam]]''. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam. For further details and an illustration refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Dharmavati|Graha bhedam on Dharmavati]]''.
