'''Dhavalambari''' (pronounced {{IAST|dhavaḻāmbari}}) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 49th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called '''{{IAST|Dhavaḻāngam}}'''<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref> or '''{{IAST|Dhavaḻāngi}}'''<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S.

==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Dhavalambari scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Dhavalambari'' scale with Shadjam at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 1st rāgam in the 9th ''chakra Brahma''. The mnemonic name is ''Brahma-Pa''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra gu mi pa dha na''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see ''[[Swara#Svaras in Carnatic music|swaras in Carnatic music]]'' for details on below notation and terms):<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R1|G3|M2|P|D1|N1|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N1|D1|P|M2|G3|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the notes used in this scale are ''shuddha rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, shuddha nishadham'')<br />
<br />
As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampoorna raga|''sampoorna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Gayakapriya]]'', which is the 13th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
== ''Janya'' rāgams ==<br />
''Dhavalambari'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See ''[[List of Janya Ragas#Dhavalambari|List of janya rāgams]]'' for all janya rāgams associated with ''Dhavalambari''.<br />
<br />
==Compositions==<br />

<br />

==Related rāgams==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Dhavalambari's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields no other ''melakarta rāgam''. ''Graha bhedam'' is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the ''shadjam'' to the next note in the rāgam.<br />
