'''Asaveri''' (asāvēri) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) from the 8th ''[[melakarta]]'' scale ''[[Hanumatodi]]''. It is a ''janya'' scale, as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes) in the ascending scale, and has a ''vakra'' (zigzag) descending scale.<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>

''Asaveri'' is an ancient rāgam, which is mentioned in the ''[[Sangita Ratnakara]]''.<ref name="ragas" /> ''Asaveri'' resembles ''Komal [[Asavari]]'' and ''Asa Todi'' of [[Hindustani classical music]].<ref name="raganidhi" /> The ''Asavari'' of Hindustani music resembles ''[[Natabhairavi]]'' of Carnatic music.<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi" />

''Asaveri'' is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain ''gandharam'' and ''nishadam'' in the ascending scale. It is an ''audava-vakra-sampurna'' rāgam (or ''owdava'' rāgam, meaning pentatonic ascending scale).<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi" /> Its ''ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa'' structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows:

*[[Arohana|ārohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S|R1|M1|P|D1|S|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|avarohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S|N2|S|P|D1|M1|P|R2|G2|R1|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, shuddha rishabham, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam'' and ''shuddha dhaivatam'' in ascending scale, with ''kaisiki nishadham'', ''sadharana gandharam'' and "chatushruti rishabham" included in descending scale. For the details of the notations and terms, see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]].
