'''Valaji''' or '''Valachi''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a pentatonic scale (''audava'' or ''owdava'' rāgam, which means "of 5"). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes). The equivalent of ''Valaji'' in [[Hindustani music]] is ''Kalāvati''.<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>

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

''Valaji'' is a symmetric rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''madhyamam''. It is a pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' rāgam<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi" /> in Carnatic music classification). 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|G3|P|D2|N2|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|G3|S|foot=yes}}
(the notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, antara gandharam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam'')

''Valaji'' is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of ''[[Chakravakam (raga)|Chakravakam]]'', the 16th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam, though it can be derived from other melakarta rāgams, ''[[Harikambhoji]]'', ''[[Vagadheeswari]]'', ''[[Ramapriya]]'', ''[[Vachaspati (ragam)|Vachaspati]]'' or ''[[Nasikabhooshani]]'', by dropping both ''rishabham'' and ''madhyamam''. Since ''Chakravakam'' is lowest in ordinal number among these 6 ''melakarta'' scales, ''Valaji'' is associated with it.

== Popular compositions ==
''Valaji'' is a pleasing scale, but has only a few compositions in classical music. It has been used to score film music as well. Here are some popular ''[[kriti]]s'' composed in ''Valaji''.

*''Jalandhara supithasthe japa kusuma bhasure'' by [[Muthiah Bhagavatar]]
*''Santatam Ninne'' by [[G. N. Balasubramaniam]]
*''Sri Gayatri'', by Saint Gnanananda Tirtha (Sri Ogirala Veera Raghava Sarma)
*''Tândava Priyâ'' by [[Kalyani Varadarajan]]
*''Nachike Padabeda'' by Purandara dasa

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

=== ''Graha bhedam'' ===
''Valaji's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields another pentatonic rāgam ''[[Abhogi]]''. ''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 more details and illustration of this concept refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Abhogi|Graha bhedam on Abhogi]]''.

=== Scale similarities ===
*''[[Malayamarutam]]'' is a rāgam which has ''shuddha rishabham'' in both ascending and descending scales in addition to the notes in ''Valaji''. Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure is {{svaraC|S|R1|G3|P|D2|N2|S'}}: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D2|P|G3|R1|S}}
*''[[Nagasvaravali]]'' is a rāgam which has the ''shuddha madhyamam'' in place of the ''nishadam''. Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure is {{svaraC|S|G3|M1|P|D2|S'}}: {{svaraC|S'|D2|P|M1|G3|S}}
*''[[Mohanam]]'' is a rāgam which has the ''chathusruti rishabham'' in place of the ''nishadam''. Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure is {{svaraC|S|R2|G3|P|D2|S'}}: {{svaraC|S'|D2|P|G3|R2|S}}
