'''Kalyanavasantam''' (also written as kalyanavasantham) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) from the 21st ''[[melakarta]]'' scale ''[[Keeravani]]''. It is a ''janya'' scale, as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes) in the ascending scale. It is a combination of the pentatonic scale ''Chandrakauns'' of Hindusthani music and the ''[[sampurna raga]]'' scale ''Keeravani''.<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>

''Kalyanavasantam'' is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain ''rishabham'' or ''panchamam'' in the ascending scale.

*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S|G2|M1|D1|N3|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|N3|D1|P|M1|G2|R2|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, sadharana gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, shuddha dhaivatham'' and ''kakali nishadham'' in ascending scale, with ''panchamam'' and ''chathusruthi rishabham'' included in descending scale.
