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

''Vanaspati's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields a minor ''melakarta'' rāgam ''[[Mararanjani]]''. ''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#Vanaspati|Graha bhedam on Vanaspati]]''.
