'''Gourimanohari''' or '''Gaurimanohari''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 23rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. The 23rd ''[[melakarta]]'' rāgam as per [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of music is '''{{IAST|Gourivelāvaḻi}}'''.

The Western equivalent is the [[melodic minor scale]].

[[Hindustani music]] does not have an equivalent to this rāgam, where the ''purvanga'' (first half of the scale) is like ''[[Kafi]] [[thaat]]'', while the ''uttaranga'' (second half) is like ''[[Bilaval]] thaat''.<ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

== Structure and Lakshana ==
[[File:Gourimanohari scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Gourimanohari'' scale with Shadjam at C]]

It is the 5th rāgam in the 4th ''chakra Veda''. The mnemonic name is ''Veda-Ma''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gi ma pa dhi nu''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref> Its {{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}} structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see [[Swara#Swaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on below notation and terms):
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R2|G2|M1|P|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|P|M1|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, chatushruti rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chatushruti daivatam'' and ''kakali nishadham''. It is a [[sampurna raga|''sampurna'' rāgam]] – a rāgam that has all seven ''[[swara]]s'' (notes). It is the ''shuddha madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Dharmavati]]'', which is the 59th ''melakarta''.

== Related rāgams ==
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

''Gourimanohari's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 3 other major ''melakarta'' rāgams, namely, ''[[Vachaspati (ragam)|Vachaspati]]'', ''[[Natakapriya]]'' and ''[[Charukesi]]''. ''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 see ''[[Graha bhedam#Vachaspati|Graha bhedam on Vachaspati]]''.
