'''Kedaragaula''' (pronounced kēdāragaula) is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a ''[[janya]]'' rāgam (derived scale) from the 28th ''[[melakarta]]'' scale ''[[Harikambhoji]]'', and is sometimes spelled as '''Kedaragowla'''. 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 ''[[Madhyamavati]]'' and the ''[[sampurna raga]]'' scale ''Harikambhoji''.<ref name="Bhagyalekshmy1990">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IrX6AAAAMAAJ|title=Ragas in Carnatic music|last=Bhagyalekshmy|first=S.|date=1990|publisher=CBH Publications|isbn=9788185381039|language=en}}</ref> It is a morning rāgam.<ref name="Bhagyalekshmy1990" /><ref name="raganidhi">{{Cite book|title=Raganidhi: A Comparative Study of Hindustani and Karnatak Ragas|last=Rao|first=B.
