'''Jalarnavam''' (pronounced {{IAST|jalārṇavam}}, meaning ''the ocean'') is a [[raga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 38th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music.<br />
<br />
It is called '''Jaganmōhanam''' in [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music.<ref name="dikshitar">''Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar Keertanaigal'' by Vidwan A Sundaram Iyer, Pub. 1989, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref><ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S.

<br />
==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Jalarnavam scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Jalarnavam'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 2nd rāgam in the 7th ''chakra Rishi''. The mnemonic name is ''Rishi-Sri''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra ga mi pa dha ni''.<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|G1|M2|P|D1|N2|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N2|D1|P|M2|G1|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the specific notes used in this scale are ''shuddha rishabham, shuddha gandharam, prati madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, kaisiki 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 ''[[Ratnangi]]'', which is the 2nd ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
== ''Janya'' rāgams ==<br />
''Jalarnavam'' has a minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Jalarnavam|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for full list of rāgams associated with ''Jalarnavam'' and other ''melakarta'' rāgams.<br />
<br />
==Compositions==<br />
A few compositions set to this scale are:<br />
<br />
*''Sri Vidhya Rajagopalam'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]]<br />
*''Kanaka mayura'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]<br />
*''Maheswari kavuma uma'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]<br />
<br />
== Related rāgams ==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Jalarnavam's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields no other ''melakarta'' rāgam, like all 6 rāgams in the ''Rishi chakra'' (''[[Salagam]], [[Jhalavarali]], [[Navaneetam]], [[Pavani (ragam)|Pavani]]'' and ''[[Raghupriya]]'' being the other 5). Only these rāgams have a gap of 3 notes anywhere in their scale, between G1|to M2. Such a gap does not occur in any other ''melakarta'' by definition.<br />
<br />
''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 />
