'''Manavati''' (pronounced mānavati, meaning '''the bride''') is a [[rāga]]m in [[Carnatic music]] (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 5th ''[[Melakarta]]'' rāgam in the 72 ''melakarta'' rāgam system of Carnatic music. In [[Muthuswami Dikshitar]] school of Carnatic music, the 5th ''melakarta'' is '''Manōranjani'''.<ref name="ragas">''Ragas in Carnatic music'' by Dr. S.

==Structure and Lakshana==<br />
[[Image:Manavati scale.svg|thumb|right|300px|''Manavati'' scale with ''shadjam'' at C]]<br />
<br />
It is the 5th rāgam in the 1st ''chakra Indu''. The mnemonic name is ''Indu-Ma''. The mnemonic phrase is ''sa ra ga ma pa dhi nu''.<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|R1|G1|M1|P|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|P|M1|G1|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />
(this scale uses the notes ''shuddha rishabham, shuddha gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham, kakali 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 ''[[Pavani (ragam)|Pāvani]]'', which is the 41st ''melakarta''.<br />
<br />
== Asampurna Melakarta ==<br />
'''Manōranjani''' is the 5th ''Melakarta'' in the original list compiled by [[Venkatamakhin]]. The notes used in the scale are the same, but the ascending scale is different. It is a ''shadava-sampurna'' raga (6 notes in ascending scale, while full 7 are used in descending scale).<ref name="dikshitar">Shree Muthuswami Dikshitar Keerthanaigal, by A Sundaram Iyer, Music Book Publishers, Mylapore, Chennai</ref><br />
*[[Arohana|{{IAST|ārohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S|R1|M1|P|D2|N3|S'|foot=yes}}<br />
*[[Avarohana|{{IAST|avarohaṇa}}]]: {{svaraC|S'|N3|D2|P|M1|G1|R1|S|foot=yes}}<br />

== Related rāgams ==<br />
This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.<br />
<br />
''Manavati's'' notes when shifted using ''[[Graha bhedam]]'', yields ''[[Kantamani]]'' rāgam. ''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#Manavati|Graha bhedam on Manavati]]''.<br />
