'''Gamanashrama''' (pronounced gamanāshrama<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref>) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 53rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. This is the Carnatic equivalent of [[Marva (raga)|Marva]] in [[Hindustani Classical Music]].<br />
<br />
Gamanashrama is the Prathi Madhyamam equivalent of the 17th Melakarta raga Suryakantam <br />
<br />
It is called '''Gamakakriya''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="dikshitar" /><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><br />
<br />
==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Gamanashrama scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Gamanashrama'' scale with Shadjam at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 5th rāgam in the 9th ''chakra Brahma''. The [[mnemonic]] name is ''Brahma-Ma''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra gu mi pa dhi nu''.<ref name="ragas" /> Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending [[Scale (music)|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|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|P|M2|G3|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, shuddha rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadham''. As it is a ''melakarta'' rāgam, by definition it is a [[sampurna raga|''sampurna'' rāgam]] (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the ''prati madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Suryakantam]]'', which is the 17th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />

==Related rāgams==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Gamanashrama's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 2 other minor ''melakarta'' rāgams, namely, ''[[Jhankaradhwani]]'' and ''[[Ratnangi]]''. ''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 to ''[[Graha bhedam#Ratnangi|Graha bhedam on Ratnangi]]''.<br />
