The raga is accommodates five scales including Mohanam, Suddha Saveri, Suddha Dhanyasi, Madhyamavathi and Hindolam into its family.

In Carnatic music, a tonic note shifting to another note derives a different raag. This process is Grahabedham. In Hindustani classical music, this is Murchana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings us to the question of why we are discussing Grahabedham in a Mohanam write-up. The reasoning behind it is the scale containing 5 swaras and the note shifts between them will bring other derivatives into the mix which again fall into the other janyas of Harikambhoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-melodic-structure\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Melodic_Structure\"><\/span><strong>The Melodic Structure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s see about this scale. Here is the ascending and descending order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u0101roha\u1e47a :<\/strong> S R\u2082 G\u2083 P D\u2082 \u1e60<br><strong>avaroha\u1e47a :<\/strong> \u1e60 D\u2082 P G\u2083 R\u2082 S<br>[Shadjam, Chathusruthi Rishabham, Antara Gandharam, Panchamam, Chathusruthi Dhaivatham]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see Madhyamam and Nish\u0101dham are missing, this scale falls under the Aowdava category comprising five swaras, popularly called a pentatonic scale in Western music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Anthara Gandharam has the most importance in Mohanam raag. For a composer, it is a good practice to start his\/her composition in Ga and for a performer, the note Ga is a good resting place in a Mohanam aalapana as it oozes the essence of the scale immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"archive\" data-elementor-id=\"21524\" class=\"elementor elementor-21524\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a271d3a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a271d3a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d961dc7\" data-id=\"d961dc7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-26093c98 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"26093c98\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7bd917f5\" data-id=\"7bd917f5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4da2430a elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4da2430a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&#038;text=&#038;source=&#038;data=\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demo-banner-Carnatic-Singing.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21528\" alt=\"Demo banner Carnatic Singing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demo-banner-Carnatic-Singing.webp 680w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demo-banner-Carnatic-Singing-300x35.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" loading=\"eager\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11a0b070 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"11a0b070\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&#038;text=&#038;source=&#038;data=\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guitar-Demo-mobile-banner-2.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21529\" alt=\"Guitar Demo mobile banner\" loading=\"eager\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mohanam-the-global-favourite\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mohanam_The_Global_Favourite\"><\/span><strong>Mohanam: The Global Favourite<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carnatic Raagam Mohanam had different names over the eras of mankind including \u201cregupti\u201d or \u201creghupati\u201d and Mullai Pann in ancient times [mentioned in Dr S.
