'''Karnataka Shuddha Saveri''' is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is an ''audava'' rāgam (or ''owdava'' rāgam, meaning pentatonic scale). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale), as it does not have all the seven ''[[swara]]s'' (musical notes).

This scale is known as ''Shuddha Sāveri'' in the [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of music.<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> This scale is quite different from the popular [[Shuddha Saveri]] pentatonic scale.

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

''Karnataka Shuddha Saveri'' is a symmetric rāgam that does not contain ''gandharam'' or ''nishādam''. It is a symmetric pentatonic scale (''audava-audava'' ragam<ref name="ragas" /><ref name="raganidhi" /> in Carnatic music classification - ''audava'' meaning 'of 5'). 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|R1|M1|P|D1|S'|foot=yes}}
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]] : {{svaraC|S'|D1|P|M1|R1|S|foot=yes}}

The notes used in this scale are ''shadjam, shuddha rishabham, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam'' and ''shuddha dhaivatham''. It is considered a ''janya'' rāgam of ''[[Kanakangi]]'', the 1st ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam, though it can be derived from 8 other melakarta rāgams, by dropping both ''gandharam'' and ''nishādam''.

==Popular compositions==
This rāgam lends itself for creative elaboration and creative exploration due to the use of shuddha notes.

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

=== ''Graha bhedam'' ===
''Karnataka Shuddha Saveri's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields 1 popular pentatonic rāgam, [[Amritavarshini]]. ''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 more details and illustration of this concept refer ''[[Graha bhedam#Amritavarshini|Graha bhedam on Amritavarshini]]''.

=== Scale similarities ===
*[[Saveri]] is a rāgam which has the ascending scale of ''Karnataka Shuddha Saveri'' and descending scale of ''[[Mayamalavagowla]]''. Its ''{{IAST|ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa}}'' structure is S R1 M1 P D1 S : S N3 D1 P M1 G3 R1 S
