Lavangi is a rāgam (musical scale) of Carnatic music (South Indian classical music).

It is a janya rāgam (derived scale) of the 8th Melakarta rāgam Hanumatodi.^[1]^[2] M. Balamuralikrishna is credited with introducing it into Carnatic music and using this scale first for compositions. His most popular kriti in this ragam is 'Omkaaraakarini'.

Scale[edit]

The Lavangi scale contains four swarams:

Arohana : S R₁ M₁ D₁ Ṡ^{[lower-alpha 1]}
Avarohana : Ṡ D₁ M₁ R₁ S^{[lower-alpha 2]}

Origin[edit]

The ragam Lavangi is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Lavang' meaning clove. Through the notion of a clove having four sectors, M. Balamuralikrishna built the raga to have 4 swaras, excluding the low sadharna as it is generic.
