'''Garudadhvani''' or '''Garudadhwani''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) from the 29th ''[[melakarta]]'' scale ''[[Dheerasankarabharanam|Shankarabharanam]]''. It is a ''janya'' scale, as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes) in the descending scale. It is a combination of the ''[[sampurna raga]]'' scale ''Shankarabharanam'' and the pentatonic scale ''[[Mohanam]]''.<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>

== Structure and Lakshana ==

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

*[[Arohana|ārohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S|R2|G3|M1|P|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|avarohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S'|D2|P|G3|R2|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadham'' in ascending scale, with ''kakali nishadham'' and ''shuddha madhyamam'' skipped in descending scale. For the details of the notations and terms, see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]].

This raga has shades of western music when played in fast pace.<ref name="ragas" /> Most of the notes are used without ''[[Gamaka (music)|gamaka]]'' (without variation of pitch, oscillation around the notes or any analogous transitions between notes).<ref name="ragas" />
