Bahudari (pronounced bahudāri) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is a derived scale (janya rāgam), as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes), derived from the 28th Melakarta raga Harikambhoji.




Structure and Lakshana



Bahudari is an asymmetric scale that does not contain rishabham. It is called a shadava-audava rāgam, in Carnatic music classification (as it has 6 notes in ascending and 5 notes in descending scale). Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):

ārohaṇa : S G₃ M₁ P D₂ N₂ S
avarohaṇa : S N₂ P M₁ G₃ S
This scale uses the notes shadjam, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, chathusruthi dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadam.
