'''Sriranjani''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a hexatonic scale (''shadava'' rāgam, which means "of six"). It is a derived scale (''[[janya]]'' rāgam), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes). It is also written as '''Shri ranjani''' or '''Shree Ranjani'''.

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

''Shree ranjani'' is a symmetric scale that does not contain ''panchamam''. It is called a ''shadava-shadava'' rāgam,<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref> in Carnatic music classification (as it has six notes in both ascending and descending scales). Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure 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|G2|M1|D2|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|M1|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}

This scale uses the notes ''shadjam, chathusruti rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kaisiki nishadam''. ''Shree ranjani'' is a ''janya'' rāgam of ''[[Kharaharapriya]]'', the 22nd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam. It has only the invariant ''panchamam'' missing from its parent scale, ''Kharaharapriya''.

== Popular compositions ==
''Shree ranjani'' is a pleasing and popular rāgam.<ref name="raganidhi" /> This scale has been used by many composers and there are many compositions in classical music. It has been used to score film music, too. Here are some popular compositions in ''Sriranjani''.
