'''Hamsanandi''' (pronounced hamsānandi) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a hexatonic scale (''shadava'' rāgam, which means "of 6"). It is a derived scale (''[[janya]]'' rāgam), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes). ''Hamsanandi'' is a ''janya'' rāgam of ''[[Gamanashrama]]'', the 53rd ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam. It has only the invariant ''panchamam'' missing from its parent scale, ''Gamanashrama'', like ''[[Shree ranjani]]''.<ref name="ragas" />

[[Sohni]] raga in [[Hindustani classical music]] that belongs to the [[Marwa (raga)|Marwa]] [[thaat]] resembles Hamsanandi.<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi">''Raganidhi'' by P. Subba Rao, Pub. 1964, The Music Academy of Madras</ref>

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

''Hamsanandi'' is a symmetric scale that does not contain ''panchamam''. It is called a ''shadava-shadava'' rāgam,<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S. Bhagyalekshmy, Pub. 1990, CBH Publications</ref><ref name="raganidhi" /> in Carnatic music classification (as it has 6 notes in both ascending and descending scales). Its ''ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa'' structure is as follows (see [[Swara#Svaras in Carnatic music|''swaras'' in Carnatic music]] for details on below notation and terms):

*[[Arohana|ārohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S|R1|G3|M2|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|avarohaṇa]] : {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|M2|G3|R1|S|foot=yes}}

This scale uses the notes ''shadjam, shuddha rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadam''.

== Popular compositions ==
''Hamsanandi'' is an evening rāgam.<ref name="ragas" /> It has ample scope for ''[[alapana]]'' and ''swara prasthara'' (phrases of notes). This scale has been used by many composers for compositions in classical music. It has been used to score film music too. Here are some popular compositions in ''Hamsanandi''.

*''Srinivasa Thiruvenkata'' by [[Papanasam Sivan]]
