Dhatuvardhini
The third raga in the Aditya chakra, Dhatuvardhani, ranks as the 69th raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music. It is known as Dhautapanchamam in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music.
Arohana: S R3 G3 M2 P D1 N3 S
Avarohana: S N3 D1 P M2 G3 R3 S
The swaras of Dhatuvardhani are shadjam, shatsruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, shuddha dhaivatham and kakali nishadam. The mnemonic name of the raga is Aditya-Go. The sampoorna raga is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Gangeyabhushani, the 33rd Melakarta raga.
Dhatuvardhani has only a few minor janya ragas derived from it. Two compositions in this raga are Mahesham bhavayam by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna and Sukha kara by Koteeswara Iyer. Shifting the notes of the raga using Graha bhedam gives Gayakapriya.
