{{Carnatic}} <br />
'''Jhankaradhvani''' or '''Jhankaradhwani''' (pronounced jhankāradhvani) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 19th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music.<br />
<br />
It is called '''Jhankārabhramari'' 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. 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:Jhankaradhwani scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Jhankaradhvani'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 1st rāgam in the 4th ''chakra Veda''. The mnemonic name is ''Veda-Pa''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ri gi ma pa dha na''.<ref name="ragas" /> 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):<br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R2|G2|M1|P|D1|N1|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N1|D1|P|M1|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(the notes in this scale are ''chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham, shuddha 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 ''shuddha madhyamam'' equivalent of ''[[Shamalangi]]'', which is the 55th ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
== Asampurna Melakarta ==<br />
'''Jhankārabhramari''' is the 19th ''Melakarta'' in the original list compiled by [[Venkatamakhin]]. The notes used in the scale are the same, but the zig-zag usage of notes in both ascending and descending scle (''vakra prayoga'') is the difference.<ref name="dikshitar" /><br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R2|G2|M1|P|D1|N1|D1|P|D1|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N1|D1|P|M1|G2|R2|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}<br />
<br />
== ''Janya'' rāgams ==<br />
''Jhankaradhvani'' has a few minor ''[[janya]]'' rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. See [[List of Janya Ragas#Jhankaradhwani|List of ''janya'' rāgams]] for full list of rāgams associated with ''Jhankaradhvani''.<br />
<br />
==Compositions==<br />
A couple of compositions set to this musical scale are:<br />
<br />
*''Phanipati sayee'' by [[Thyagaraja]]<br />
*''Varnam tharum'' by [[Koteeswara Iyer]]<br />
*''Jhasha Kethana Pitaram'' by [[Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna]]<br />
<br />
''Himachala kumarim bhaja'' by [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] is set to ''Jhankārabhramari'' rāgam.<br />
<br />
==Related rāgams==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Jhankaradhvani's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 2 other minor ''melakarta'' rāgams, namely, ''[[Ratnangi]]'' and ''[[Gamanashrama]]''. ''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 ''[[Graha bhedam#Ratnangi|Graha bhedam on Ratnangi]]''.<br />
