'''Simhendramadhyamam''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 57th ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''Sumadyuti''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<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> It is said to be borrowed into [[Hindustani music]] from Carnatic music.<ref name="raganidhi" />

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

It is the 3rd rāgam in the 10th ''chakra Disi''. The mnemonic name is ''Disi-Go''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gi 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|G2|M2|P|D1|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D1|P|M2|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}

It is also equivalent to [[Hungarian minor scale|Hungarian Minor Scale]] that is also called as Gypsy Minor Scale in Western Music.

This musical scale uses the notes ''chatushruti rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha daivatam'' and ''kakali nishadham''. As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampūrṇa'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Keeravani|Kiraṇāvali]]'' ( also known by name kīravāṇi ), which is the 21st ''melakarta''.

== ''Janya'' rāgams ==
''Simhendramadhyamam'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it, of which ''Vijaya Saraswati'', a scale first used by [[Muthiah Bhagavatar]] is sung in concerts. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Simhendramadhyamam|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for all scales associated with ''Simhendramadhyamam''.

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

''Simhendramadhyamam's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 2 other ''melakarta'' rāgams, namely, ''[[Mayamalavagowla]]'' and ''[[Rasikapriya]]''. ''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#Mayamalavagowla|Graha bhedam on Mayamalavagowla]]''.
