'''Sucharitra''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 67th ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam (parent scale) in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''Santāna manjari''' 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><br />
<br />
==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Sucharitra scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Sucharitra'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 1st rāgam in the 12th ''chakra Aditya''. The mnemonic name is ''Aditya-Pa''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ru gu mi pa dha na''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref> 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):<br />
* [[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R3|G3|M2|P|D1|N1|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
* [[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N1|D1|P|M2|G3|R3|S|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
The ''swaras'' used in this scale are ''shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham'' and ''shuddha nishadham''. ''Sucharitra'', being a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Yagapriya]]'', which is the 31st ''melakarta'' scale.<ref name="ragas" /><br />
<br />
==''Janya'' rāgams==<br />
''Sucharitra'' currently has no ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Sucharitra|List of ''janya'' rāgams]]'' for those ''janyas'' associated with other ''melakarta'' rāgams.<br />
<br />
==Compositions==<br />
''Sucharitra'' scale has been used for the following compositions:<br />
<br />
*''Harinamada araaginiyu'' by [[Purandara Dasa]]<br />
* ''Chintayami santatam'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]<br />
* ''Velu mayil'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]<br />
* ''Santana manjari'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]]<br />
<br />
==Related rāgams==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Sucharitra's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', does not yield any other ''melakarta'' rāgam. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam.<br />
