Andolika

Andolika is a Carnatic raga, which is also sometimes written as Andholika.

[1] This ragam is an asymmetric scale and is classified as an audava-audava ragam (five notes in the ascending and descending scale).

[1][2] The notes in this scale are chatushruti rishabham, shuddha madhyamam, panchamam, kaisiki nishadham in arohana and additional chatushruti dhaivatam in avarohanam, in place of panchamam (see pictures).

Since gandharam is removed this scale can also be considered a janya of 28th mela Harikambhoji scale,[2] but since 22 comes ahead many prefer to use the association with Kharaharapriya.

This section covers the theoretical and scientific aspect of this rāgam.

Ascending scale with C as Shadjam (tonic note), which is exactly same as Madhyamavati scale
Descending scale has D2 in place of P
