'''Dhanashree''' is an Indian classical [[raga]] that also appears in the [[Sikh]] tradition from northern India and is part of the [[Guru Granth Sahib]].<ref name="Singha 2000">{{cite book |last=Singha |first=H.S. |title=The Encyclopedia of Sikhism (over 1000 Entries) |publisher=Hemkunt Publishers |year=2000 |isbn=978-81-7010-301-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gqIbJz7vMn0C&pg=PA10 |access-date=26 May 2021 |page=10}}</ref><br />

Raga Dhanashree appears in the [[Ragmala]] as a ragini of [[Malkauns]] and currently is a member of the [[Kafi]] [[thaat]]. It closely resembles [[Bhimpalasi]] in musical content but the vadis and moods are different (Described Below). Dhanashree is performed in the early afternoon and presents a cheerful, happy mood. It provided the setting for hymns by [[Guru Nanak]], [[Guru Amar Das]], [[Guru Ram Das]], [[Guru Arjan]] and [[Guru Tegh Bahadar]] for a total of 101 hymns.<br />
<br />
The following represents the order of notes that can be used on the ascending and descending phase of the composition and the primary and secondary notes:<br />
<br />
* Aroh: ni Sa ga Ma Pa ni Sa<br />
* Avroh: Sa ni Dha Pa Ma Pa ga Re Sa<br />
* Vadi: Sa<br />
* Samvadi: Pa<br />
* Jaati : Audava – sampurana<br />
* samay : Third pehar of the day<br />
* Thaat : Kafi<br />
<br />
This Raag is almost exactly the same as the Classical Raga [[Bhimpalasi]], only that the Vadi/Samvadi are switched. So in Bhimpalasi, the Vadi is Ma and Samvadi is Sa.<br />
<br />
Pa is given considerable emphasis and Ni and Pa receive sliding approaches, a characteristic of this raga. The pentatonic ascent provides some of the melodic features of this raga.<br />
