List of Janya ragas

The process of deriving janya ragas from the parent melakartas is complex and leads to an open mathematical possibility of around thirty thousand ragas.

Though limited by the necessity of the existence of individual swaroopas (unique identities) for the janya ragas, a list is never comprehensive or exhaustive.

Moreover, some musicians experiment and use new scales, leading to new janya ragas.

The 72 Melakarta ragas are numbered according to the ancient Indian system for numerical notation — the Katapayadi system.

Under those musical scales are the janyas associated with each melakarta.
