Mararanjani
Mararanjani, the first raga in the fifth chakra Bana, is the 25th raga in the Melakarta system of Carnatic music and has mnemonic name Bana-Pa. Known as Sharavati in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music, this raga has all seven notes making it a sampoorna raga.
Arohana: S R2 G3 M1 P D1 N1 S
Avarohana: S N1 D1 P M1 G3 R2 S
The swaras are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, antara gandharam, shuddha madhyamam, panjamam, shuddha dhaivatham and shuddha nishadham. Kantamani, the 61st Melakarta raga, is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Mararanjani.
Mararanjani has only a few janya ragas like Devasalanga, Rajathilaka etc. Shifting the notes of this raga using Graha bhedam gives the raga Vanaspati. Some of the compositions in this raga include Sharavati by Muthuswami Dikshitar, Manasa srirama by Thyagaraja and Ramapathina by Dr. M. Balamuralkrishna. This rarely heard vivadi mela has not been used in film industries.
