Simhendramadhyamam
The raga Simhendramadhyamam ranks as the 57th raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music. It has a different name in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music – Sumadyuti. Like its predecessor, this raga is also borrowed into Hindustani music from the South Indian Carnatic music.
Arohana: S R2 G2 M2 P D1 N3 S
Avarohana: S N3 D1 P M2 G2 R2 S
The notes of Simhendramadhyamam are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, prati madhyamam, panjamam, shudha dhaivatham and kakali nishadam. This is the third raga in the Disi chakra with mnemonic name Disi-Go. It is a sampoorna raga and is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Kiranavali, the 21st Melakarta raga.
Simhendramadhyamam is not just a part of Hindustani music but is also said to be similar to Hungarian Minor scale/Gypsy Minor Scale in Western music. The ragachaaya swaras are Ri, Ga, Ma and Ni. This is a special raga that has almost all the swaras suited for gamaka prayoga. The raga has around 25 janya ragas, some of which are Anandavalli, Ghantana and Jayachodamani.
A few compositions in Simhendramadhyamam are Needu charanamule by Thyagaraja, Pamarajanapalini by Muthuswami Dikshitar and Innum Orutharam by Muthu Thandavar. Apart from the classical songs, there are two Bengali songs set to this raga that are equally popular. They are Baje Koruno Sure by Rabindranath Tagore and Paradesi Megh Jao re fire by Kazi Nazrul Islam. Shifting the notes of this raga using Graha bhedam gives Mayamalavagowla and Rasikapriya.
